The problem starts with the sender, who has set a rule to add symbols to each line in the original message. It's vary irritating. One thing you can do is go into the dictionary for OE, and add the greater sign in the original word list, and in the next field just hit the space bar once. In jfw 7 you can assign sounds to words, but I don't use it and don't recall if there is a silent setting. From: Jouie To: Forum Sent: Sunday, 22 January, 2006 03 04 Subject: >>> Hello list! Sorry for my ignorance if it is. But when ever I reade E-mail messages, I always encounter ">>>" included in the text. My JAWS keeps on saying this while it reads the E-mail's content. Why is it happening? How can I remove it if it can be? I also did choose the panctuation settings and I went for "None". It is effective but I don't prefer using this kind of settings because it affects the fluency and the reading accuracy as well as its ability to give you the highest quality in terms of screen reading. Can anyone give me the solution for this mini problem that I am having? Thank you! Reguards!
