Joe, why don't you forget all the previous instructions and try this.
insert + J to get Jaws window. alt to open menus on Options. Down arrow twice to Voices. Right arrow to global. Enter Down arrow twice to punctuation. Use up and down arrows to select either "some" or "none". Enter to get out of menus. Alt + space followed by N to minimise jaws window.
hi
we have followed these instructions however when i press alt s jaws says nothing then when i hit s on it's own jaws says shortcut to c drive.
can you tell me what it is i'm doing wrong?
Joe,
If I'm reading correctly, it sounds to me as though JAWS is possibly losing focus after you type CTRL+SHFT+D. Your next key stroke is possibly being operated as though you weren't changing that configuration.
Be careful that you really choose INS+6 (that's the figure 6 on the top row of keys). Pause a little and then you should hear the words "configuration manager" along with whichever configuration it is. After that you can continue with CTRL+SHFT+D to ensure that you are ready to change the Default Configuration Manager. The next key stroke should be ALT+S and not INS+S (a tiny slip) which was given. You then press S for Synthesizer and you can change the setting as has originally been stated.
This should get you there. Come back if it doesn't! <SMILE>

hi phil
we can get as far as control shift d, in the instructions you gave us then it keeps going back to the desk top and and reads out the icomms there and says "windows...j c f - jaws configuration manager desk top folder view list view not selected my documents one of fourteen to move to items use the arrow keys file file edit view ect". then if we proceed on to insert s, it will one time it will say all then the next time we go in to it again it
says none, then when we hit s on it's own nothing is said by jaws, nor is any thing said if i try to tab to eliquence.
all this happens either when i am in word or outlook express it doesn't matter. as usual i am sure this is just me not doing some thing right.

theHi Joe,
I think that your time and punctuation problems are down to the same thing, namely, your punctuation setting being set to all.
To check if this is the case:
1. insert+v to get the temporary settings options.
2. type the letter p until you hear the word punctuation. After
otherword punctuation, you should hear either none, some, most or all. I think that your setting is all.
3. Press the space bar to change the setting to anything you wish
manager.than all, tab to the close button and hit enter.
This solution is just temporary and will revert when you switch windows but if it helps, you can make the change permanent as follows:
1. Press insert+6 on the top row to invoke the configuration
default
2. Press control+shift+d to ensure that you are changing the
tab.configuration.
3. Press insert+s followed by s to invoke the synthesiser options
accept
4. Tab to the Eloquence punctuation item and cursor up or down to change the selection to something other than all.
5. Tab to the ok button and activate it.
6. Press alt+f4 to close the configuration manager and type y to
thechanges when asked.
I hope this helps,
Phil Medway.

hi all
another problem,
when typing an e mail or in word and using an apostrophe jaws actually says apostrophe, I don't know whether or not it has been put in between the letters or not, but as I say it just says the word apostrophe where
apostrophes should be.
I am sure it's just some thing to do with the punctuations settings, could some one please tell me how to correct this.
hope this makes sense.
many thanks
Joe
