Dear Evangeline,
I'm sorry, but it seems I may not have expressed myself clearly enough. I do
not wish for another way to invoke the Say Font command. Insert F is
perfectly convenient and I use it frequently. The keystroke I wished to
change is the one that invokes the sounds and schemes dialogue from which
you can choose one of many ways to make Jaws automatically speak font
changes as it reads, or speak the text in different voices for different
character formatting, such as bold or italic. That keystroke is Insert alt
S, and without instruction from a Yoga master, I can't see how I can learn
to stretch my right hand that far without using my other hand to place my
little finger on Insert and my thumb on the alt key, and then use my left
hand finger to press the S key. This is quite a trick of contortion. so I
wish I could change this to something easier. But if it is also in the
keyboard manager list, I can't figure out how to find it, or what it's
called.
I hope this is more clear.
Thanks very much.

The first thing to do is you go to the keyboard manager. Then locate
the dessired application that you want to change. So for example
microsoft word. Then go to the next pane by pressing tab. Then locate
the dessired keystroke you want to change, as you mentioned say font.
After that, as you are locating the dessired keystroke you heard the
asigned key right! After you hear the asign key for say font, press
tab for you to go to the asign hotkey. That's now the time you can
change the hotkey asign to it. After you change the default hotkey,
press tab to go to the ok button. That's also the time the JAWS
setting will now accept the new hotkey. I hope this will help you.
I'm very sorry for the confusing words. If you still have questions,
just ask me and I will answer you as soon as I can.
