Thanks for the suggestion. I would like a jaws solution but until then I can work with your suggestion. It will definitely work.

If I understand the problem correctly, an idea occurs to me. At the point where you've just about finished writing a piece of code, or whatever, could you copy the work into a word processor, select the entire text and click on the control that reverses lower and upper case text? Then you could use the JAWS punctuation setting to alert you to any accidental instances of upper case letters. Change them to small case, then reselect the entire text, reverse the operation to make the passage all upper case, convert to non-word processor text and copy back into your original file. ________________________________ From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Bissett, Tom Sent: Monday, March 21, 2011 2:17 PM To: 'jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: caps I am trying to figure out how to better control my caps settings. In the adjust jaws dialogue there are two settings capitalization ignore and caps indicate on character / word / line. These seem to be independent of each other. Can some one explain how all this works. I am sure it should be obvious but I am missing something. I work mostly on the mainframe where most things are in uppercase so I want that to sound normal while I need to know if i am inadvertently in lowercase because that can be a problem. Tom Bisset
