Hi all,
I'm referring to the problem with JAWS5 and the apostrophe: when punctuation
is set to ALL JAWS will read the apostrophe as "apostrophe" and not as words
should be spoken. I just installed the Italian release of JAWS5, and by
deleting the description for the apostrophe in the configuration manager
(customize punctuation), I got rid of the problem! Since I prefer to use the
English version (messages are shorter and less annoying than in Italian), I
tried doing the same after switching JAWS language to English. The result
was the same: now no punctuation is spoken when the JAWS language is
English!

So this seems to mean that the problem is in the English version, but not in
other versions like Italian.

Just out of curiosity! Hope they fix this bug soon.

Fran
