Oh wow, I've tried this, and it works! What was weird though, I wasn't asked
to save my default configuration when I pressed alt F4; it appeared to have
saved it for me. Is this normal? I did not do a manual save before closing
configuration manager. Thanks!

Hello Norma:
This is the way I am able to have blank lines spoken.
If you go to the default
Configuration Manager (JAWSKey+6, then CTRL+SHIFT+D), and select "customize
Punctuations" under Set Options (ALT+S, then P), there's an Advanced button
there before the OK button (SHIFT+TAB three times) and the first item is for
blank lines. Then there's an Edit Description button you can tab to and
activate, with the word "blank" entered by default. You can replace that but
note that it will not accept no entry so you have to put a single space
character. Doing this will have JAWS saying nothing when you arrow through
text and encounter blank lines. Is that what you're looking for?

Hi Chris, thanks for the message. I am just trying to comprehend why
FS would not include such a feature in Jaws. I had thought about
adding to the Jaws dictionary as you suggest, but I was sure that
there would be something in the configuration manager. I think I'll
send a message to tech support and see what kind of answer I
receive. I suppose they figure with the navigation keys we wouldn't
be using our arrow keys so thus the blank lines shouldn't be a
problem. Well, I do use the arrow keys, and hearing blank blank
blank is enough to drive me to drink. <grin> Later...Norma
