Hi, Judith and all, Here's how you turn off ANSI characters with JAWS 7.1: 1. Press INSERT+F2 to open the JAWS Manager. 2. Press DOWN ARROW until you get the Configuration Manager and press ENTER. 3. Press SHIFT+CTRL+D to open the default configuration file. 4. Press ALT+S for Set Options. 5. Press G to select Graphics and Symbols. 6. You should lend on the Character Verbosity field. If you are not in this field, press TAB to go there. 7. The option None should be selected. If this is not the right option, press UP ARROW until you get it and press ENTER. 8. Press ALT+F4 then Y to close and save changes to the default configuration file. 9. To make sure the changes take effect, close JAWS then reopen it. Hope this helps!

Is there another place where it can be located? Also, when I came down to my computer this morning I think the "antsy" function had been invokwed. I ended up hitting the power button on the front of the computer to stop it from asking me, "all characters, most characters..." How do I turn that off also?
