I'm not sure if anyone else noticed this, but the update seems to have changed the way JAWS handles semicolons as well. They now pause the speech.

Well, I'm running the latest update on a Vista machine running business
edition service pack 1, and it's working absolutely perfectly here.

Before I updated my JAWS, I updated my laptop's audio drivers, and this
newest JAWS update seems to have gone a long way to curing a problem I had
wherein JAWS and Outlook 07 seemed to crash and thrash and kick one another around until neither one worked. I've not had a single Outlook error since
the update.

Also, the update of JAWS and the update of my audio drivers ended a strange experience I kept having with eloquence where the voice seemed to pop in and out--how do I describe this? Kind of like turning it on and off quickly at
the end of a word.  It sounded a bit like someone unkeying a radio
transmitter milliseconds after finishing talking.  The words were kind of
clipped--never so badly that I couldn't understand anything, but the audio
drivers update and the JAWS update in combination seem to have ended that
clipping as well.

I won't sermonize, but suffice it to say that I've sure relearned my lesson
about the value of updating drivers!

Regards,

Nolan
