Hi Don; thanks. It works just the way I want it too. But I did it the short way, through the insert 6 method, as I have removed the JAWS icon from the desktop. ----- Original Message ----- From: Don Moore To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, August 25, 2008 8:01 PM Subject: Re: Getting JAWS to alter the way he says the date Hi Steve, To set date for some processing, or for extended processing, go to the JAWS default Configuration Manager by first pressing Enter on the JAWS icon on your Desktop and then cursoring down to Utilities and press Enter; then, cursor down to Configuration Manager. Then, press alt and cursor right to the Set Options menu on the Menu Bar and cursor down to Text Processing. Tab until you get the 3 Date Processing options under Numeric Date Processing; cursor up and down to the one you want and press Enter, since the default is OK. Then, press Control s to save and then press alt F4 to Exit. Hope this helps, Don ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve Boodram To: "Undisclosed-Recipient:;"@freelists.org Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2008 2:38 AM Subject: Getting JAWS to alter the way he says the date Hello friends; could some one tell me how to get JAWS to say the actual date a message was received, rather than just give numbers in Outlook Express? For instance, I want JAWS to say Monday 25 August, 2008, rather than just say 8, 25, 2008.. Your help would be appreciated. Steve Boodram
