If you don't press ctrl+s in the Config Manager after making changes, on
exiting it you will be asked "Save Current Settings?" You would then hit enter
to say yes, if you want them to be saved. So, while ctrl+s is good to use, it
isn't a must-use. (It is however a must when saving dictionary changes.) The
customize punctuation dialogue is very dependent on the JAWS Voices Adjustment
dialogue settings, so yes it is mostly better to set general punctuation in the
latter dialogue.

Yes, Yardbird, you've laid out the possibilities. I assumed Wendy was
referring to the insert-j basic options. That's where I set punctuation. If
I'm wrong, perhaps Wendy will clarify. I would be interested to know if she
finds a solution. Meanwhile Patricia has written in, and I learn from her that
this section of JAWS has changed. Like me, Patricia merged her settings from
an earlier version. Unlike me, she realized JAWS 8 handles the punctuation
choices differently.
Note. I merged my 6.2 settings with JAWS 8, so far with complete success.
Earlier messages said it couldn't be done.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, Adrian. Let's see if we're talking
about the same thing. What I thought she was describing was launching
Configuration Manager, opening the Settings menu, arrowing down to the item for
verbosity, and making some change to the part of it concerned with punctuation,
then clicking on OK to close the menu, and then, naturally, saving the file,
default or not, before exiting Configuration manger.
I never heard of their being some "field" in Configuration Manager such as
what you seem to be referring to, for one thing. It's got menus, menu items,
and various dialogues within those items, some tabbed, and some simpler.
But I'm starting to think this may be about just the simple thing of
setting punctuation right there in the Jaws interface itself, under voices.
You know, the interface you put up by pressing Insert J. You set speech rate,
you set pitch change for uppercase,and so forth, and you set punctuation to
that choice of none, some or all. If that's what she's talking about, it has
nothing at all to do with saving a file, nor with Configuration manager. You
see?
Now, if by some chance, you're actually talking about an aspect of
configuration manager I can't even imagine, please explain.
Thanks.

Yardbird,
Sorry, but that's incorrect. Control-s isn't required in this particular
field.

Wendy, whatever the problem is, it is not that you're pressing control S
before exiting Configuration Manager. That is exactly what you must do anytime
you change settings that way. And it ought to work. So don't think about that
idea any more. Just call Jaws tech support and tell them what happened. Maybe
they can help, maybe they can diagnose it with you, maybe not. But honestly,
it's not that you shouldn't be saving the file. If you don't save it, nothing
is changed in the file that your new settings are meant to change.
Good luck.

Hi,
I'll give it a go without the control s and see what happens. Thanks.
