If I understand your suggestion correctly, it would only work for a user, not 
the document's creator.

  Derek,

  Use the JAWS dictionary manager for word to give alternate pronunciations of 
individual letters or more appropriately combinations of letters and symbols.

    Subject: Pronunciation of subsection in Word


    Hi,
        I am planning on distributing a Word document to some of our customers 
some of whom will be using Jaws to read the document.  I am new to Jaws and am 
not sure how to deal with pronunciation of certain punctuation.  This document 
is organized into sections which are crucial to the meaning of the document.  
Once example is a section I which has subsections (a) and (b).  When Jaws reads 
these subsections it pronounces them as follows, "left paren ah right paren."  
Can I leave this text as it is or would it be better to change it somehow so 
that it is pronounced more clearly?

    Thanks for you help.

    Regards,
    Derek Binkley
