OK, that's the problem. I'm still using version 11.

Thank you.

Bill,

The feature was introduced in Version 12. Is that what you're using?

Hi, Ed. Can I use Text Analyzer in MS Word 2003? When I press JAWS key +T
when in a word document, it does nothing.

Thank you.

At least when you are in a Word document, you can get it going in one of
two ways:
1.  Press JAWS key plus Spacebar
Follow that with a press of the letter T
That will announce all "errors."
You turn it off the same way.

2.  In Verbosity, JAWS key plus V, use first letter navigation, in other
words, Press the letter "T"
When you come to table options, you might want to press left arrow to
"close" table options before pressing T again. Otherwise, you'll be stuck

having to press T about 6 times just to get through Table options.
When you come to Text Analyzer, press Tab to hear a description.  Then
press shift Tab to get to a rotator control which allows you to be
notified in different ways when Text Analyzer finds an "error."
You can tell Text Analyzer what to look for in terms of errors in the
Settings Center.
I've now turned off detection of space run, given the "fix" Freedom
Scientific made to JFW Version 12.0.1158.
You can set it to find stray punctuation, parenthesis that open, but don't

close, and the like.

Before JFW version 12.0.1158, Text Analyzer was a useful tool,
identifying
situations in the text with errors that one might not otherwise notice,
e.g., mid-sentence font changes, spaces before commas and periods, and
extra spaces between words.  I often have problems with extra spaces
between words.
Some misguided soul at Freedom Scientific apparently decided to overrule
legal style books (as well as many other style formatting requirements)
and treat two spaces after a period as an error.  It calls out these
entirely appropriate (and often required) spaces as an erroneous space
run.
Moreover, with the verbosity settings, Jaws key plus V, there is no way
to
change the setting so as to recognize that two spaces after a period are
perfectly proper, and often required.
I realize that journalist styles prescribe only one space after a period,
but to force that on everyone, particularly in the face of many style
requirements (and court rules in some cases) seems a little high-handed.
I've written to Freedom Scientific with a complaint and a suggestion that
this post-period spacing thing be made an option, to recognize
differences
in writing style requirements.
It occurred to me, perhaps a little late, that there might be a setting
somewhere other than in the verbosity setting where this can be fixed. I checked the settings center, and the only option is a check/unchecked box
for runs of spaces.  Too bad!
