Hi,
Awesome! that is whatI wastalking about.
I would bet that such a feature supports probably only Word 2003 which is relevant as most probably have Word xP.
By assigning the keystroke to "say next number" one can eliminate having to
keyboard across commas and decimals in numbers *in Word* like
1,234.56%.
That number reads right in emails but not in Word.


I bet onl Word y 2003 is supported which is a shame in this case.
Thanks for great response.

I'm not sure what you mean by which version of Word. But I did see in the keyboard manager for JAWS 7 under the default layout options for SayNumericDataAsSingleUnit, and oen for prior, if that's what you want. I hope this is of some help.

Hi,
With 6.1 and 6.2,
one could assign the key commands in keyboard manager to get numbers read correctly and this was a known feature.



Which versions of Word will that assignment of numbers work with to read numbers correctly?

This number reading did work correctly with
versions before and including 3.5 and JAWS 4.5 and 5.0 and 6.2.

I simply want to know which Word version is supported now with 7 in terms of
efficient number reading?

Hi,
Using JAWS 7, in which Word version can one
use insert + right/ left arrows to read numbers correctly
with that single keystroke as in 17.4% without having
to do numerous keystrokes?
With 6 one had to enter the command into the Keyboard manager to
read numbers with decimals in them efficiently in Word.
HenceI ask which Word version does number reading happen with 1 insert
right/ leftarrow?
This is important if onew orks with numbers.Thanks.
