Are you using MS-Word? If so then Insert+v to open the JAWS options and turn on 
the formatting announcements

  Hi Alex and all,

  That is exactly what I had done, but I would like, lie in previus versions,  
JAWS to say for example "bold" or "italic" rather than using a different voice 
for bold or italic, because I found those voices unpleasant.

  Hoping to hear from you again,

  From your application, do the following:

   

  1.       Hit Jaws key +f2 and scroll down till you hear Configuration 
manager.  Hit enter.

  2.       From the configuration manager once you are in the 
application-specific dot jcf file, hit alt+u for the user options menu.

  3.       Arrow down to Speech and sounds Manager and select it.

  4.       Hit home to take you to the top of the list.  The third, fourth and 
fifth options on the list are where you want to be.  You can have Jaws read 
attributes only, attributes and fonts, or attributes fonts and colors.  You can 
hit the tab key on each one and you'll go into a read-only field where you can 
hear or read a description oof how Jaws handles it.

  5.        Hit the one you want and close the configuration manager making 
sure to save your changes.

   

  You should be in business now.

  Hope that helps,

  Alex

  Hi all,

   

  How can I make JAWS announce attributes, for instance to say "bold" or 
"italic" instead of using a different voice for different attributes?

   

  Cheers,

  Gezim
