Hi Daniel,
I agree with the insert + esc. What I was responding to was the message
that you needed to use the ctrl + alt + pgup or pgdn to speed up or slow
down JAWS.
The insert + esc does set the speed back to where you were while you are
still in the same application. When you leave the application the speed
will also get reset to the default.

Cy,
Not to be argumentative (Judith, please note!), but I believe the Insert
Escape keystroke is meant just to conveniently toggle off any increase
or
decrease in speed you happen to have made using page up and page down,
or
control page up and control page down, without going through all that
again.
Think of it like the control on a stereo amplifier or receiver usually
called the "flat" position of a switch or knobaround the tone controls,
whose function is to set the tonal balance in the preamplifier back to
flat,
even though you may have turned the treble or the bass up and down. In
this
sort of case (I'll admit the analogy isn't perfect), this still leaves
the
tone control adjustments where you put them, so that if you turn off the
"flat" control, you'll be returned to these adjustments you made.
but you see the basic idea. It's just to turn off the speed changes you
made, without having to "turn the knob," so to speak, and listen until
it
seems normal again..

Hmm,
Just plain old pgdn and pgup slow down and speed up my JAWS... I do not
need the ctrl or alt. Cy, the Ancient okie...

Actually it is "ctrl + ALT + PGDN" that will speed JAWS up in the
application you are currently using and "CTRL + ALT + PGUP" will slow it
down.
Once you leave the application it goes back to the default speech
setting that you have.

While Jaws is speaking, pressing the page down key speeds it up and page
down key slows it down. Each press slows or speeds jaws. It used to be =
Home and End keys in previous versions of Jaws. Never a dull moment!
Ciao,
Ron.

Hey All,
I know that when in a message, I can hit page down to make jaws read
faster, or=20 page up to make it slow down. What I want to know is... Is
there a way to make jaws go back to my voice rate=20 settings? It seems
that the only way I can get Jaws to reset itself is to alt=20 tab out of
that window, then back into it again. If that's how I have to do it,
that's fine. I just wondered if there was a key=20 command that brings
back my default settings for the reading rate that I have as=20
the default. Thanks. Jack=20
