Turn off the preview pain. This makes jaws read better. Matthew On Dec 11, 2009, at 3:53 PM, Mark Furness wrote: I am confused! Some of my messages automatically read. Other times, it only occurs when I tab once. Is there some setting that needs to be changed? Auto preview is off, I believe. The reading submenue is set for right.
