Subject: [program-l] Further JAWS Weirdness in word
HI all,
As you may recall, I have been having problems where JAWS is insisting on
speaking the superscript attribute in Word 2002 documents on Windows XP,
even though it is set to ignore them in the active Speech and Sounds Scheme.
Well, I've found something, but it hasn't resolved the problem. I realised
that I had uninstalled JAWS 8, and that perhaps there was some setting
hanging over from that. So I reinstalled JAWS 8, and sure enough, the
default setting in the Classic scheme is to speak superscript and subscript
attributes. I set it to ignore these in JAWS 8, and JAWS 8 kindly agreed to
comply with this. Reading superscripted text just spoke the text.
I then unloaded JAWS 8 and loaded JAWS 9. Now, JAWS 9 is also behaving
itself and not speaking the superscript attribute.
Finally, with hope in my heart, I unloaded JAWS 9 and loaded JAWS 10 Beta.
Unfortunately, this is still steadfastly insisting on speaking the
superscript attribute regardless of ignoring or even deleting this setting
in the Classic or Word Classic schemes.
I've established that this isn't happening on my home Vista setup, so it's
not universal even for me. But I am baffled as to why JAWS 9 should be
affected by a change to a JAWS 8 setting, and equally why JAWS 10 should be
ignoring its own setting.
For information, I have never run the Merge Utility after installing any
version of JAWS. So there is no reason for any of them to pick up settings
from earlier versions. I always go in and manually re-set the options I
want using the Configuration Manager, to make sure that overwriting script
or configuration files doesn't lose new features in the process.
