Hi, everyone.  I sent this message at about 6:30 last night, EST, but it hasn't 
turned up in the list, as a fellow lister confirmed.  I hope it's not a repeat 
for any of you.

John,

I remember I once tricked JAWS into saying the section sign. However, I've just 
been experimenting in the JAWS dictionary manager, only to find JAWS doesn't 
recognize that it's on a character. The JAWS graphics labeler doesn't recognize 
it as a graphic, at least in WordPerfect.

Curiously, the section sign does appear in the symbols list you get by pressing 
insert-4. Open up that file and type an s, and you will be taken right to it.

I've been testing this in both 6.2 and 8.

Someone on the list may also have tricked JAWS into speaking the symbol and 
remembers how they did it. Otherwise, it would be worth an email to FS tech 
support.

If you get an answer, please let us all know.

Adrian

Hello All,

I have a different punctuation question. I do a lot of legal reading and there 
is an s like symbol for section and i was told that it was in an earlier 
version of JFW. I believe it was 7.0, but cannot say for sure. When JFW reads a 
code or statute section with this symbol, it reads over it as if the symbol was 
not there. Is there a way to either, one, find this symbol in the JFW menu 
choices, or two, select the symbol in a document and add it to the punctuation 
symbols?

As always, I will greatly appreciate your help.

Take care,

John
