That's strange, because on my office machine that combination does
absolutely nothing.  Wish it worked, I can use all the shortcut keys I
can get.  Never tried it at home; in fact, I didn't know it existed.

The keystroke is at least three years old. I knew it existed, but can
never remember it so I keep an old message on the subject. I did know it
is not a Jaws stroke.

 

And I have had certain Jaws installations toggle on the showing of those
Word markers. Queer, ain't it?

        GW,

         

        Okay, so I tried that keystroke, and it resolves the problem.
However it is not being reported as a JAWS keystroke.  It's a MS-Word
keystroke, I guess.

         

        Just to make sure, I went to tools/options/display  (Word 2007)
and I see that all these are unchecked, just like I always have them.

         

        Something has changed with JAWS 11.0.1447, since the words
"Space marker" started up right after the install.

         

        Also interesting that the space character changes from ASCII 32
to ASCII 183 when the keystroke toggles. Just what is this keystroke
doing, anyways?

         

        Appreciate the keystroke tip.

                The key combination to toggle this on and off is control
shift numrow 8.

                 

                The long way to do it is to go to tools, options and on
the view page tab like crazy until you get to "all" and uncheck it and
tab to OK.

                        Hi!

                         

                        Just opened up a new Word document and I seem to
be getting stuff like space markers and paragraph marks read whereas
this didn't happen before, so if anyone can tell me how to silence those
things I'd really, really appreciate it.  Thank you.
