Hi again David and all, Another slight problem with this I'm afraid :). How do you get Jaws out of Sleep Mode? I know that switching to another app wakes Mr Jaws up, but I need to wake it up on the same application! Can't you set the (Synthesiser - Speech On/Off) item on the Verbosity dialog box to (Off) as the default setting? Or better if one can set Jaws to unload the synth so it can be easily uploaded from the (insert control S) if you ever need the speech back on. Anyone knows how to carry out any of the three above ideas please? Would be very much appreciated.

Worked a treat!

Bring up Configuration Manager, Alt S for Set Options and A for Advanced. The first item in this field I think is to do with putting Jaws to sleep, so check this item and Save changes in the usual way. You should find that Jaws will not speak. After you have made the changes come out and then go back into the application to effect the change.

With some programs, such as media players, I'd like to silence Jaws so it doesn't interfere with what I'm listening to if I'm forwarding or rewinding. I can do it from the verbosity dialog or from the synthesiser selection dialog box (insert control s), but can't figure how to make (no speech) the default option when I'm using a certain program. I looked in the Jaws Configuration Manager and consulted the help files but no luck so far. Any volunteers please? AmroB
