Thanks for this explanation, John, but it is interesting that it only reads
the word terrabite now and then and mostly reads the catalogue number as
intended. Perhaps I need to put a space between the tb and the number, or,
as my list gets sent to RNIB and they know all the catalouges numbers for
the TB prefix, just not bother with the TB prerfix.

Hello all.
Sorry Steve
This is nothing to do with German.
TB is the usual prefix for terra bytes, I have split that word up for ease
of understanding.
So, TB40 would be 40 terra bytes.

Hi Alison,
Terrabytes is if you have TB before a number.
German would suggest that somehow your document has a German language code
in it.
All the best

Subject: [access-uk] a couple of quirks with the way Jaws reads
I keep a list of books I want to order from the RNIB Talking Library in a
Word document.
I lay these out by putting TB followed by the number, then a dash and the
title, and then a dash and the author.
Occasionally, for no reason I can work out, when Jaws reads the talking book
number is says something like 24356 terrabites. I wondered if anyone had any
ideas as to why?
Also, occasionally, before reading the line, it says "German"
Alison
