Hi, Focus on the Jaws' Window. Then, Open the Option menu, and, activate the "Basics.." Submenu. From here, you can choose the radio buttons that suit your liking. If you want to minimize the things jaws announces, you can configure jaws to the intermediate or advanced level from the "Configuration Manager"/"Default.jcf"/"settings"/"Verbosity Settings."
