Jack, It's posts like yours though that prodded me into a little exploring of how to manipulate and customize JAWS sound to better serve me. While I can be technically savvy, I sometimes need that creative push from someone else to get me started on exploring something to make it better. I did that a lot when I was a medical transcriptionist and someone would ask me if such-and-such a thing could be done with a macro, and then I'd jump on it to see the possibilities. Left unsaid, I might never have explored those things and just stayed the usual course. Creativity gives birth to new options. Admittedly, we are spinning out of control and away from the main thrust of this list and the thread need to see its natural end, but at least it was a vehicle to prompt yours truly to do some exploring I might have otherwise not undertaken.
