I received an Email this morning and it was clear that it had been typed with
the Caps Lock on. Presumably the writer didn't bother to check how it read but
it was awful.
When I wrote something in Outlook Express with the Caps Lock on use of the
shift key produced a sound to indicate something was wrong. I've been using
that function for a long time now but I thought there was a way that the
situation could be corrected automatically. I'm not aware of anything in
Outlook Express that can do that but there is in Microsoft Word.
I received a response to my query this evening. it works well. It's in Auto
Correct under the Tools menu in Word. I don't know whether it affects any
other programs in the Office suite.
I've also noticed that use of the lower case "i" when used as the personal
pronoun, affects the way eloquence speaks the sentence. I don't think this is
true with the Sapi voices.
Anyway, that's enough rambling.

Hi David
Do you mean the audible warning that you can hear if you try to shift-key a
letter when the caps lock is on?
I'm pasting below the instructions I found in the Windows Help Centre. This
is news to me too and here it goes and hope I'm not going to confuse you
further.

Hi list,
I'm not sure if this is a Jaws function or not but could somebody please
remind me how you set the Caps Lock to correct itself if you inadvertently
start typing when it's set to "on".
Many thanks.
David
