No, my final comment was intended to point out that in all previous =
versions
of Jaws, the keys were home and End whereas, no doubt for some exotic =
reason
FS changed this to Page up and Page Down. It took me sometime to twig
(reading help files is not my forte).
Ciao,
Ron.

Ron,
Although this isn't quite what the man wanted (he just wanted to know =
how=20
you turn off your temporary speed-up or slowdown and regutnr exactly the =
usual speed you've set in the Jaws menus), I have one thing to add. =
It's=20
true, as you say, that page up and page down increase and decrease speed =
while Jaws is speaking, either in say line or say all. But even when =
Jaws=20
isn't currently speaking, you can increase speed by pressing control alt =
page up, or decrease speed by pressing control alt page down, and the =
next=20
time you issue a command to read, it'll be accordingly faster or slower. =
Experiment to see how it works, and how many presses of this key combo =
seem=20
to increase or decrease speed as much or as little as you prefer. Just =
so=20
you know.
I just realized that your final comment below might mean that you=20
misinterpreted the issue, here. don't worry. Nothing has changed. =
This is
just about a keystroke combination to reset the speed to the default=20
setting. Not a way to speed up or slow down. Hope that helps.
Need more coffee. Should've realized where you were coming from =
quicker.=20
sorry.
Daniel

While Jaws is speaking, pressing the page down key speeds it up and page
down key slows it down. Each press slows or speeds jaws. It used to be =

Home
and End keys in previous versions of Jaws. Never a dull moment!

Hey All,
I know that when in a message, I can hit page down to make jaws read
faster, or=3D20
page up to make it slow down.
What I want to know is... Is there a way to make jaws go back to my
voice rate=3D20
settings? It seems that the only way I can get Jaws to reset itself is
to alt=3D20
tab out of that window, then back into it again.
If that's how I have to do it, that's fine. I just wondered if there
was a key=3D20
command that brings back my default settings for the reading rate that I
have as=3D20
the default. Thanks. Jack=3D20
