hi Mandy, Here's what you need to do: insert J to bring the computer's focus on to jaws. then insert f2 and press enter on the item called configuration manager. Insert v takes you to a list of items which you can adjust to your liking now, you can either arrow down until you come to punctuation, or you can press p until you hear punctuation announced. use the space bar to cycle through each option. pressing insert f1 gives information for each option as you highlight it. when you have selected the appropriate level tab to the execute button and close the dialogue then save changes with control s. If you want punctuation marks to be announced in a way other than the default pronunciation then follow the instructions below. Whatever you do, don't forget to save the changes before closing the configuration manager with alt f4. . Customising punctuation Next press the left alt key and you will then use the right arrow key to find set options. Then, arrow down until you hear the words customise punctuation. Hit enter at this point and you can then set different levels of punctuation by pressing the space bar to be announced. When you land on one of the choices, pressing insert f1 will explain it. Then having set the desired level of punctuation you can hope this helps.

To make permanent changes to the way Jaws behaves you have to use its configuration manager and save the changes before closing it.

Then Basics and then voice adjustment. You will find the relevant ComboBox in there. I think you will find that changes obtained with Insert V are temporary. Hope that's right.
