It seems a repair of JAWS might be the option.  When you hit numpad5 twice 
quickly, is it the same as if you hit it just once?  If you hit it three times, 
you should be getting the ANSI character number.  Are you using a standard 
Windows keyboard?  If not, there's further room for querying.

  Judith, actually, I don't think you blundered at all. I just wanted to use 
the term that Freedom Scientific used so that people would know what I was 
talking about. So far no one has been able to figure it out.

    I guess that everything has been redefined, sorry for the blunder.  Judith

      The term used is spelling Phonetically. Below is the direct command from 
the JAWS help:

      Say Character Phonetically 
      NUM PAD 5 twice quickly

        I don't know what this way is referred to but it is not phonetic.  This 
is using alternate words to spell out a word so that the user knows which 
letter is which by means of using unrelated words for each letter.  For example 
the word many:
        mary, apple, nancy, yesterday

        I wish I knew what this way of spelling was but I don't.  Judith

          Here is an example. I want JAWS to spell  the word wade phonetically. 
It would spell it whiskey alpha delta echo. And BTW, just spelling the word 
with insert numpad 5 doesn't work either.

            Vicki, 
            Are you sure you mean phonetically?  Don't you just mean spelling 
things out, character by character?  Because if you really are talking about 
having things spelled phonetically for you, there's a way to set that in the 
Configuration manager, and someone else here can probably direct you where to 
find that specific setting.

            but if you just mean the default way that Jaws spells out a word 
when you press Insert 5 as you describe, Insert 5,5, then that isn't phonetic.

            Just to get straight what it is that you're after.

            I'm using JAWS 7.1, and for some reason, I can't get it to spell 
            phonetically in any application. I'm pressing numpad 5 twice 
quickly like I 
            always did, and it won't work in any program. Is there a setting I 
need to 
            change?
