Lissi: Nonbreaking hyphen is a unicode character that is often found on web documents, powerpoint, etc. Superscripts & subscripts sometimes occur erroneously in scans--just nuke 'em. I believe f4 is used to indent paragraphs. Lastly, press the insert key & u should be good to go again & get u out of typeover mode.

Maybe it'sa verbosity setting? I'm not sure.

These problems are making me even slower than I already am because I read each book through andprovide carefully written and proofed synopses. Most of these difficulties started after I loaded JAWS 9.0 which has made many improvements.I'm also using word 2003 and maybe the books that are difficult for me havebeen edited in word 2007. I have written to for of the people whose scansI've worked on lately to ask if they use word 2007. One of then has alreadyanswered to say she isn't using Word 2007. Here are some examples of the problems I'm having .1. Most of the time I make individual corrections by backspacing to delete and writing in the correction. When I backspace, for the past month or so, I'm hearing jaws 9 say nonbreaking space or hyphen. These nonbreaking things take up the space of a character. When I delete them with the backspace and space again or put in my own hyphen, jaws says the normal space or hyphen.No more nonbreaking. How are nonbreaking spaces etc different from characters that just say their name like space?2. In one part of book I'm validating now, when I try to insert 3 spaces atthe beginning of paragraphs, a useless gesture I know because Bookshareeliminates them, but I can't help myself if they are indented in the printcopy, a blank line is inserted, but I'm unable to place spaces before the first word of the paragraph.3. As I proofread, I often hear jaws say end subscript or superscript. I'vetried highlighting the document and making sure sub and super script are unchecked, but they remain. The print in these sub and superscript words doesn't look any different from the print before and after it as far as I can tell. Sometimes I can make the super and sub scripts disappear bybackspacing over them and writing in the text again, but this doesn't always work. This is happening with scans I've received from submittors and scans I've done myself. In the scan I've done, I hear them as I proofread. I thinkthe BRF ignores super and sub scripts even when we need them to indicate notes, etc, but I don't know what happens to them in daisy files.4. I'm back to having that character replacing problem I had before and have forgotten how to correct it. I'm in some kind of character replace settingwhere the letter I type over disappears. For example, if I write stepinstead of stop and put my cursor over p and backspace to erase e and then type in o, I get sto because the p has disappeared. If I place the cursor on the space after sto and type in the p, I get stop, but the space has gone.I'll appreciate any help I can get with these frustrating computermisbehaviors. Or, I admit, they could be my own misbehaviors because I stilldon't know enough about how my programs work. airadil@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Always with love Lissi To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxput the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
