Hi Amro, Unfortunately there's no way to load the synthesizer back up on the fly. JAWS goes to sleep completely with the option on, so you can't use any JAWS keystrokes until you move to another programme. You'd need to reverse the sleep option from the Configuration Manager. The configuration manager won't let you change the default synthesizer for a particular programme. I think the best way to do what you're asking is via the select synthesizer dialog as you've been doing. By the way, you can get to the search in the JAWS help by pressing Ctrl+Tab twice from the Contents treeview. Hope that helps.

But thanks anyway, Dorothy. Hopefully someone would have an idea as I can't find what I want in the help files; wish there was a search edit box in the Jaws help! But that's another discussion for another thread.
