hello brian thank you for the reply i actually want to turn it off so that when i press the tab key all it does is go to the amount of spaces it is set for without speaking any measurements Yvonne ----- Original Message ----- From: Brian Lingard To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, August 19, 2010 8:58 PM Subject: [jaws-uk] Re: ms word announcement Ottawa Canada Dear Yvonne and List: Sounds like your Units Of Measure in MS Word is set to centimeters. If you want you can change it to inches, points or row and column. A point is 1/72 of an inch and is the unit of measure used by printers. If you go into the JAWS Configuration Manager while in MS Word, that is, the JAWS Key plus F2 I believe there is a setting somewhere to ignore indents which will probably silence JAWS when you have indented text or [press the Tab key inn Word. Good luck! Brian Brian K.
