Hi, this is a pretty basic question I am sure and one I'll probably figure out if I keep working at it but I've tried everything I can think of so far. I was working on something in word and when I came back to one of the documents I had open jaws began announcing every space, paragraph and other marker possible. I've tried the verbosity settings with no luck and a few other things but if someone could tell me what else to try I would appreciate it. Now that I've asked, watch it will be one of those "oops, that's what it was" but I have to ask. thanks Korin announcing
