yes, I'm using eloquence as default, in spanish, it may be the reason. But something estrange is occurring whenever I have writing anci characters, my screen change its position, 180 grades, so I couldn't turn it back, till I restore my system; I think there's a keyboard command that I have to deactivate to prevent that behaviour. Any idea? thanks in advance.

Have you tried numlock on or off whereas jaws is active if you want to produce an ascii code on the num pad? To get an ascii code: press num lock on > alt + 3-digit-ascii-code on the num pad > num lock off. To read in asci mode: press num pad 5 3-times > cursor left or right reads each ascii code - this is true if eloquence is the default synthesizer, but some synthesizers are not able to read in ascii mode or behave in another way. Are you using eloquence as default? Which synthesizer language do you use? Regards, Michael
