Actually, the font settings are the same. I've just been doing more research. I downloaded both "Context" which is a programmer's text editor as well as Notepad++. JFW functions in both as it does in Notepad. Wordpad, it seems, is not a pure text editor but does insert RTF codes. JFW sees a tab in Wordpad as "tab" in the code. In the pure text editor it just sees spaces. I sure wish I could change it, though. I'd rather hear "tab" instead of the number of spaces.
Thanks for the reply. Karen----- Original Message ----- From: "Soronel Haetir" <soronel.haetir@xxxxxxxxx>

My guess would be that this is due to how JAWS comes up with the number. It doesn't (AIUI) actually extract the text, instead it looks at the blank space and calculates how many spaces there are. I'm guessing you use different font settings in the two editors. On 2/8/10, 1SmartDog@xxxxxxx <1smartdog@xxxxxxx> wrote:I'm in a quandry over indent and text editors. Specifically, I'm looking at just Notepad and Wordpad. For programming, I want indents announced. In both these editors I've turned indents to announce. In Wordpad, what is announced is "left margin" "one tab" "two tabs", etc, which I like. In Notepad, lineswhich begin at the left margin are announced "one space" and tabs areannounced as "7 spaces". I don't like the Notepad results. Any idea why theyare different? Can I change this?
