Thanks Tim, that's good to know.
Supplimenatry question: currently, when Jaws is reading out the letters, it
doesn't distinguish between an a and an á etc. it just terats all vowels
as straight vowels. Is there any way to get Jaws to pronounce or declare
the fadas, anyone?
Thanks for the Ins+3 suggestion, Eamonn, but it didn't work for this
purpose: I don't know what its for.
Regards,
Robbie
