Eileen, You're correct. They do not stay that way since (in the case of Notepad) there is no way to save the settings in a JSI file. Here's what you do: First let's assume you are using the default punctuation of "some". In your text processor of choice, open the configuration manager. Again if it's the first time, you'll be prompted to create a new configuration file. Alt-s to open settings menu and down arrow to Customize Punctuation. You are in a list of punctuation marks, starting with the exclamation mark. Along with each you'll hear one of the following: all, most, some, none. Remember that your default setting is "some"? Well, if you want to always hear a punctuation mark in that application with that setting, then hit the spacebar until you hear "none". Do this for any punctuation's you want to always hear. The idea is to set the level (all, most, some none) to be at least one level lower than the current default setting. So if for example you usually have it set to "most" punctuation then just make sure that the ones you want to hear are set to either some or none. When you're done, tab until you get to the OK button and hit enter. Then Alt-F and s to save the configuration file. Then Alt-F4 to close the dialog. This should do it. If you totally mess things us then just select the default button in that dialog to set things back to normal, and start messing around again.

Is there a specific way to save it?

JAWs will save this for the application you are in. In the configuration Manager you can select the application you want to set 'all punctuation' in, but you still have to select the application to do so. So I recommend that you do it as mentioned first for each application you want to have the all attribute. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Lafond, Eileen Sent: Tuesday, June 08, 2010 2:32 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Punctuationin certain applications with JFW Hi, In my text editors I want the Punctuation to be 'ALL'. I went into the configuration manager and tried to understand how to make the change, but got confused. I do not want for the Punctuation in all of my applications to be 'ALL', only in the text editors. Can someone give me the exact steps to get the Punctuation set to ALL in certain applications? I know to go into the application and do insert f2 and go to configuration manager and to set options and then to customize Punctuation. After that is where ai need assistance.
