Hmm, well, it doesn't seem to work...I may be doing something wrong, but I also noticed that you can't seem to paste characters from the clipboard into the "actual word" field of the dictionary box. THis seems a grim oversight indeed. For reference, the "separator string" is actually a line of 80 dashes original Message ----- From: Farfar Carlson To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, October 11, 2010 6:19 PM Subject: Re: Jaws saying "separator" 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.

Unfortunately, it already seems to be set to "simple layout". This is apparently the default, which I haven't altered. ----- Original Message ----- From: Farfar Carlson To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, October 11, 2010 5:46 PM Subject: Re: Jaws saying "separator" Try setting your document presentation to simple.

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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message.
