RE: jaws spelling

JFW uses the standard phonetic alphabet used by the military, the ITU,
and amateur radio operators world wide.  It's been pretty much a
universal standard since the earliest days of screen readers (or talk
programs, to use '80's vernacular).

        I don't know what this way is referred to but it is not
phonetic.  This is using alternate words to spell out a word so that the
user knows which letter is which by means of using unrelated words for
each letter.  For example the word many:
        mary, apple, nancy, yesterday
         
        I wish I knew what this way of spelling was but I don't.  Judith

                Here is an example. I want JAWS to spell  the word wade
phonetically. It would spell it whiskey alpha delta echo. And BTW, just
spelling the word with insert numpad 5 doesn't work either.

                        Vicki, 
                        Are you sure you mean phonetically?  Don't you
just mean spelling things out, character by character?  Because if you
really are talking about having things spelled phonetically for you,
there's a way to set that in the Configuration manager, and someone else
here can probably direct you where to find that specific setting.
                         
                        but if you just mean the default way that Jaws
spells out a word when you press Insert 5 as you describe, Insert 5,5,
then that isn't phonetic.
                         
                        Just to get straight what it is that you're
after.

                        I'm using JAWS 7.1, and for some reason, I can't
get it to spell 
                        phonetically in any application. I'm pressing
numpad 5 twice quickly like I 
                        always did, and it won't work in any program. Is
there a setting I need to 
                        change?
