Brilliant. Seems that it shouldn't be necessary, but in lieu of finding the 
"proper" solution, I'll certainly do this.
Thanks. ;D

  Then you can be clever and copy the separator character from the web page, 
open your JAWS dictionary for the web browser, and assign a blank space to be 
"spoken" in place of that character. That should silence it.

    Thanks.
    Unfortunately, it already seems to be set to "simple layout". This is 
apparently the default, which I haven't altered.

      Try setting your document presentation to simple.

        Greetings.

        A minor annoyance that I can't seem to find a solution for. I recently 
upgraded to Jaws 11, and I find that now the programme will say "separator" 
when it encounters a long line of dash characters. This often happens with 
message boards in particular, as some may know. I've looked in various areas of 
the configuration manager and haven't found a way to turn this off. Personally, 
I would rather jaws simply not say a thing, as this is what occurred in all 
previous versions I've used as for general reading I usually have most 
punctuation announcements turned off.
        So, where can I silence this pesky thing?
        Thanks in advance.
