Please excuse me if I was not clear enough. The point is that I had configured
JAWS in MS-Word exactly as you explained to me, but unlike in previous versions
when JAWS would announce changing of attributes by saying "bold", "Normal" and
so on, now JAWS uses a particular voice for bold, a different one for italic,
etc. So what I would prefer is if JAWS would just say the word for the
attribute, rather than using different voices.
Have a nice day,

Yes, it is exactly in MS-Word that I need the attributes read, but as I said
in my previous E-mail, JAWS uses different voices for different attributes, and
what I would prefer instead is if JAWS would announce "bold" etc. Any idea how
to make JAWS behave that way?

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
