I didn't know about this keystroke, but you can control these settings, although it's not as convenient, by going to the tools menu, then the options choice. In the tabbed dialog that opens, choose the "view" tab. Find either the checkbox for "all" or the one for paragraph symbols. hth, Chip ------------------------------ Chip Orange Database Administrator Florida Public Service Commission Chip.Orange@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (850) 413-6314 (Any opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of the Florida Public Service Commission.) ________________________________ From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Cher Bosch Sent: Tuesday, October 07, 2008 12:43 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Word-showing paragraph marks Hey folks- I can't get the toggle key to work anymore or else I can't get JAWS to read the paragraph marks etc. Is control-shift-8 (on the number row) the toggle to switch on/off the space marks and paragraph marks? The tool bar shows that the 'Show All' button is pressed when I do this, but nothing changes on the screen. What am I doing wrong? Using Word XP/2002 and latest Jaws9. Thanks. Thanks for any ideas.
