Hi, all, At this link, there is an example of how--unless one fixes it--numbers require lots of extra keystrokes to read numbers with decimals-- hence the url gives the fix to enable reading numbers with 1 keystroke in Word --saving time. . IN the instructions quoted below. Instead of Keyboard Manager, one goes to Keyboard.jkm under " Explore My Settings" under "Explore JAWS". Instructions are quoted from the F S F A Q from the above F S url as follows: "JAWS 5.0 or later JAWS 5.0 or later already has the Numeric Data scripts in to the default scripts. To assign keystrokes and use them, do the following: 1. "...you select "Keyboard Manager" and press ENTER. 2. In the Keyboard Manager, select the "Default" key map file from the list of options and press the TAB key. 3. Press N then press DOWN ARROW until you select the script "NumericDataSayNextAsSingleUnit." 4. Press CTRL+A to add a keystroke to this script. Press the keystroke you want to attach to the script, such as CTRL+INSERT+RIGHT ARROW. 5. Choose the OK button. 6. When JAWS asks you to confirm your changes, press ENTER. 7. After you have attached the keystroke to the first script, press DOWN ARROW to select the script "NumericDataSayPriorAsSingleUnit." 8. Repeat steps 4 and 5. You can assign the keystroke "CTRL+INSERT+LEFT ARROW" for this script. 9. After confirming the changes for the second script keystroke, exit Keyboard Manager by pressing ALT+F4."" I ask, What more is needed to make numbers read with 1 keystroke? Did any one changethis so numbers like 18.4% *in Word X P* could be read like in J5.0038 with 1 keystroke instead so would not require 4 keystrokes to read them when dealingwith numbersatw ork? Many thanks. -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
