Hit Jaws key/alt/s and arrow to classic. Then hit enter. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Judith Bron" <jbron@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, September 04, 2005 6:24 PM Subject: Re: Using the Proof Reading Schemes Yesterday I used the stroke Jaws key/alt/s. I just did it to see what would happen and today it is still using different pitches for quotes and announcing capitol letters without pitch change. I went back and hit cancel while in the scheme but I'm still getting the scheme while editting a document. Help! What can I do to get out of proof scheme?

When, however, you absolutely have to be certain that a document looks perfect, consider turning on the "proof reading" speech and sound scheme. > Within Word, if you press the apparently awkward (for some) key combination of JAWS Key plus Alt plus S, one is placed in a list box. > If you hit the letter "P", you will land on the first of at least 2 > "Proof Reading" schemes. By default, this will enounciate capital letters with "Cap" before a capitalized word. "Solid Caps" will be called out for a word in all upper case. So, the gentleman who started the ill-fated thread might have avoided capitalizing both the "N" and the "O" in the word "no," had he used this scheme. It also changes voices and pitch to describe attributes. > In the list box, at the very top, there is a toggle.

Under "say repeated characters," have JAWS "count repeated characters." When you have two spaces together, JAWS will announce that. Of course (dare I mention this), if you put two spaces at the end of a sentence, it will announce those two spaces. So, for those who favor not putting two spaces after a period, here is a practical reason. > Well, I'm old-fashioned.
