interesting, I have that exact setup and do not get this in any of my applications including my office professional suite, hmmmm have you tried a repair and although a pain in the back side allowed it to reset the user settings, that will set it all back to factory defaults. an added note, since I test a lot of software, and have ripped up my computer more than once, I duplicate my default scripts file in the all users, applications files, freedom scientific, jaws, settings, folder by copying the enu folder and saving it to a backup drive, this way if I have to wipe out a set of them I can replace them instantly with ones that work, and have my settings already in them HTH, elf Moderator, Blind Access Help Owner: Alacorn Computer Enterprises Specialists in customized computers and peripherals - own the might and majesty of a Alacorn! www.alacorncomputer.com proprietor, The Grab Bag, for blind computer users and programmers http://grabbag.alacorncomputer.com ----- Original Message ----- From: CastoG@xxxxxxxxxx To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, January 05, 2011 4:15 AM Subject: Two Spaces Greetings: I keep hearing two spaces each time I am working with JAWS 12. I am guessing it has to do with the end of phrases. Is there a way to silence this? It is becoming annoying.I am running JAWS 12 on an XP machine using Office 2003. All programs of the suite are acting like this. Regards / Mes respects Guy Castonguay
