David:
Even with an odd number of numbers, I prefer pairs. The combinations
are just easier, for me, to remember.
Here is more than anyone wants to know about reading by pairs. Below, I
have shown the numbers in odd groups of 3, 5, 7, and 9. I have written
out the word translations below each. JAWS basically just splits off
the first digit (in an odd-numbered list and pairs the remaining digits.
For example:
347
Three forty seven
97856
Nine seventy eight fifty six
4976218
Four ninety seven sixty two eighteen
919501872
919501872
To me, this is how I would intuitively read the number. It also cuts
down on useless verbiage like hundreds, thousands, and millions.
Still, I would improve on the formula slightly. For example:
19527
The above, with pairs on, reads, "one 95 twenty seven."
I would have translated it as, "nineteen fifty two seven," giving
priority to pairs in the teens.

Chris:
In JFW 5.0, you are right there. If you are hearing "some translation"
and so on, you are in the list for "date processing." Hit tab one more
time for "number processing." A better way, since it takes several tabs
to get there, is to go the other direction. After hitting ENTER on
"Text Processing," hit shift plus tab five times. This will put you in
a list. Use up and down arrows to make your selection. I handle eight
digit-long client file numbers and document numbers all the time. For
me "pairs" works the best. It groups the numbers in convenient pairs,
like nineteen sixty two, instead of one nine six two. With eight
digits, the difference is remarkable. By the way, after making your
selection, tab back 3 times (not 5) to click O.K. Note, this is based on
JFW 5.0. It may be different in 4.1. Also, I want you to know
(actually, I want David to know <SMILE>) I practiced this before giving
you the advice. Seriously, I agree 100% with David that we all should
practice the instructions (when we can) before giving them out. Good
luck!

I can't find the option. JFW's being funky and not reading the dialog
correctly. Once I enter on text processing, how many times should I hit
tab? I saw something that said controled by JAWS or controled by
synthecizer, but I also saw something that said no translation, some
translation, most translation, etc.
I don't see anything for numbers, or digits. I know this can be done
though.
Chris.
