Judy, the answers you have been given are accurate as far as they go, but 
it is incorrect to say that there is no solution to this Windows 
annoyance.  There exists a JFW script in version 5, probably in some 
previous versions, called Script NumericDataSayNextAsSingleUnit ()
   By default, it is not assigned to a keystroke.  There is also one for 
moving back by word, Script NumericDataSayPriorAsSingleUnit ()
You simply need to choose  keystrokes and assign these scripts to 
them.  For example, in Windows there is a command to move forward by word, 
ctrl-right arrow, and JFW provides insert-right arrow as well. For my 
personal use, I have reassigned insert-right arrow and insert-left arrow to 
these two scripts.
Now, when I use those keystrokes, I am not forced to listen to words with 
punctuation repeatedly as I move over them.  I do not at the present 
instant have time to describe how to assign the keystrokes to the 
scripts.  Perhaps somebody else will do is, or if not and you need that 
sort of assistance I can do it, probably tomorrow.  Since this is Windows 
behavior, it will not matter what version of Word you use, this JFW fix 
will alleviate the annoyance.

Dean
