When reading through the book, in TextEdit, VO says “return, new line” whenever there is a new paragraph. Is there any way to prevent this from being read? I know in MS Word, in Windows, you can choose to “hide” or “show” paragraph marks, and when they are hidden, Jaws will not read them. Is there a similar setting within TextEdit?
