Hi Roger,
Thanks so much for that info about the case sensitive check box; it
works.

Hi Don,
Version 10 has added a case sensitive check box in the replacement word
area. I tested it by checking the check box and it worked correctly. This
is just another addition for further flexibility. I did not check out the
telephone number problem.

Subject: JAWS Dictionary problem with JAWS 10
Hi List,
I installed the final version of JAWS 10 a few days ago and I quickly
discovered a problem with my default JAWS Dictionary. I used the Merge
utility in order to have my settings and JAWS Dictionary brought in from
JAWS 9.
Most items in my JAWS Dictionary work fine. However, I have postal
abbreviations for various states and provinces, in the U.S. and Canada,
in my dictionary so that they read the 2 letters instead of pronouncing
them as words; it is only the ones containing vowels that I have included
in the dictionary.
For example, the postal abbreviation for Indiana is IN, which I
entered with capital letters and have it pronounced as I N; similarly,
the postal abbreviation for Ontario is ON, which I entered with capital
letters and have it pronounced as O N.
With all JAWS versions up to JAWS 9, this worked fine and, if I
encountered in or on, in small letters, then they would be pronounced as
the words in and on, which is what I want.
However, in JAWS 10, even though I specified capital letters for the
individual letters being pronounced, JAWS now also pronounces the words
in and on, in lower case, as individual letters, which is very confusing
when reading a document or web page.
As a result of this and the fact that phone numbers are not read
properly either, I have set the second build of JAWS 9 as the version I
want automatically loaded at startup, since it reads all of these things
the way I want them read.
Can anyone else verify if this dictionary problem is occuring in JAWS
10?
Thanks,
Don
