Hi listers, for those who followed the brief thread about JFW and the announcement of blank lines in I.E. while using the cursor keys, here is the reply I received from FS. Chris H., you were correct, there is no way to turn the announcements off. I'm going to try modifying the dictionary and see how that goes. Rock on...Norma
------begin fwd message----- Hi Norma:Thank you for contacting Freedom Scientific Technical Support. The only place where you can turn off the reading of Blank Lines in the JAWS® screen reading software is when you are having the program automatically read web pages, or when you are using the Say All feature of JAWS. However, there is no way to turn off the announcement of Blank Lines when you are reading with the arrow keys. Please use the following steps to turn off the speaking of Blank Lines, when JAWS automatically reads web pages, or when using the Say All feature.
1. Open Internet Explorer 7, and then press the JAWSKey+6, (the 6 on the alphabetic keypad), to launch the Configuration Manager.
2. When the Configuration Manager is opened, press Alt+S for the Set Options menu, and then press the letter Y to open the Say All Options dialog box.
3. Next, press Alt+B to move to and uncheck the Say Blank Lines setting, and then press the Enter key to accept this setting.
PLEASE NOTE: if pressing Alt+B checks the Say Blank Lines setting, then this item was already unchecked, and saving this setting will have the lines spoken
during Say All. This might not be what you want.4. Finally, press Control+S to save the setting, and then press Alt+F4 to close the Configuration Manager and return to Internet Explorer.
If you have any additional questions regarding this or any other issue, please don't hesitate to contact us.
If replying to this message, Be sure to include all previous correspondence pertaining to this matter so that we might better assist you.

Where can I find the setting to turn the blank line announcement off? Some on one of the JFW lists say there is no such feature. If not, I guess I am wondering why not. Thank you, Norma A.
