Steve, I believe the entry is some how getting interpreted as a date. Some of the following give the same results. It is strange in that, not all abbreviations for months are picked up as dates. jana 4479244. jan 4479244. january 4479244. feb 4479244. february 4479244. march 4479244. mar 4479244. apr 4479244. april 4479244. may 4479244.

I use word pad to store names and phone numbers. I have text processing set to single digits. Everyone's number is spoken as a single digit accept this one. her name is Jana and her number is 4479244. When jaws reads her number is says it as four million four hundred sixty none thousand and so forth. I wonder why this is. I tried putting her name as jana1 and it read it in the signal digit format. I wonder why this is. finnygomes@xxxxxxx home page www.rellek.com/stevegomes phone 720-747-4niner niner0 -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
