Okay. I'm confused yet again, but I have a feeling it's all fine. Hope you
get all your punctuation preference sorted out as you like them.

andn now I do understand what I'm doing. smiles. I was just using this as an
example, because someone was saying that you don't do controrl-s in
configuration manager when you can.

Oh, Okay. I've taken similar precautions when I was new to something and
didn't want to confuse myself by making a lot of adjustments at once and then
forgetting what I'd done, just as you say. But you understand. I was just
imagining making one or two changes when you know exactly what you're doing,
and not saving the file each time you check a check box any more.
I'm sure you'll get to that point of comfort and confidence with
Configuration Manager. Meantime, you're right, there's no harm in being very
careful and methodical. No harm at all. thanks for explaining.

I know that. It's just that in the beginning when I was learning what each
checkbox did I didn't want to check a whole bunch at once because I wouldn't
remember what to uncheck if I didn't like a certain setting, because I had
checked so many. that's why I did control-s individually to test out each
setting and make sure that it did what I wanted it to do. I had experienced
many times where I checked too many boxes and didn't remember what was checked.

Patricia,
P.S.
But you know, you don't have to save the file (which is what you're in, in
that interface called configuration Manager) until you're through making
changes and wish to exit the Configuration Manager. Did you know that? You
can make all sorts of changes, take as long as you like. Just remember to save
before you exit, that's all.
Hope that helps.

you can do a save with control-s in configuration manager if you want to
make more changes without closing configuration manager, or, when I do it is to
test a change that I've made. control-s saves the change i made in
configuration manager, I check to see whether or not the change is to my
liking, and if I don't like it I can just alt-tab back to configuration manager
and change it back without reopening it.

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.
