Hi Maithe,If you are using JAWS try pressing consecutively and holding until all three keys are pressed, then releasing them, Control-Shift-8 (that is the 8 on the number row. This is a toggle that will turn off and on the announcement of all markers, like spaces and paragraph markers. I find it odd that it is telling you the paragraphs, but not the spaces and all other such things. But it is worth a try.
You poor thing! It does sound as though your computer has lost its mind. That is so so frustrating! My greatest sympathies are with you!
Good luck. Peace, Mayrie At 02:56 AM 2/13/2008, you wrote:
Hi G. cindy,Thanks for the tip, but it is not working. It continues to say paragraph marker. I have no frigging idea what is going on here. *sigh* I can't get it to go back to default settings, it does not follow commands. Plan and simple...my computer is evil.Thanks for the help. *G* Hugs, Maithe ----- Original Message ----- From: "Grandma Cindy" <popularplace@xxxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2008 12:42 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: paragraph markers?I love having the paragraph markers on. I have the symbol on my "ruler" and just click on it to either make it disappear or to show. However: Open the Tools File and when it's open, click on Commands. Under Categories, on the left, slick on View. Then on the Commands side, scroll down to the words Show All. (They are next to the paragraph symbol. I assume if you click on that they'll disappear. If not, and you can drag the symbol to your ruler, you can then click on the symbol and control whether you want to see them or not. But maybe I'm misunderstanding the circumstances under which you want to get rid of them. If it's in a book you're prevalidating or validating, that's a different matter. The only way I can get rid of those when I'm validating is either one at a time while reading the file, being careful to put a space instead if necessary, or blackening the whole paragraph except for the last paragraph symbol and replacing with a space--which sometimes give you two spaces together between words. Hopefully for your sake, this isn't the circumstance that you're asking about. smile G.Cindy --- maithe007 <maithe007@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Hi list, Does anybody know how to take paragraph markers off of Word? I am beginning to think there is something very wrong with the computer. This is the new thing that it has decided I can't live without. *sigh* Thanks in advance.
