I checked the verbosity settings again,and focused on the punctuation level 
under edit options.  I discovered by tabbing to the execute button I could 
change thepunctuation level from none to most, which is what I want.  So 
problem solved.

  Gerald,

  I think the Insert+v dialog takes precedence over the configuration manager 
settings, so why not just change it there?

  The configuration manager settings are saved using the file/save approach, so 
if you exit the configuration manager without saving first, you'll get a 
reminder.

  Are you sure that the IE8 scripts are active? Check the JAWS/options/manage 
applications dialog to make sure it's checked.

    Hi listers.  For some unknown reason, JAWS 9 with the IEMax scripts 
installed has suddenly stopped speaking most punctuation when I browse the web 
using IE 8.  For example, JAWS now speaks "Google.com" as "Google com" with no 
period between google and com.  I checked the verbosity settings by pressing 
Insert-V, and under the Edit Options, the punctuation level is set to none.  
But when I checked the Customize Punctuation dialog on the Set Options menu of 
the JAWS Configuration Manager,the punctuation level is still set to most.  But 
when I try to change it to all and then close the Configuration Manager, I 
don't get the usual prompt asking f you want to save the changes, so I'm 
wondering if there is a problem with the Configuration Manager.  I have been 
using the IEMax scripts for a few weeks with no punctuation problems until now. 
 Interestingly, when I unload JAWS 9 and launch my demo version of JAWS 10 
which does not have the IEMax scripts installed, the punctuation is fine with 
the level set to most in the verbosity dialog, but again, the Configuration 
Manager does not offer the save changes dialog when I close it.  Any idea on 
how to fix this annoying punctuation problem?  Thanks.

    Gerald
