Hi Jerry; Below is some verification of what we are talking about is correct. Hey Mike,
I use alt+251 to insert the Square Root symbol. As you already mentioned, jaws will read it as letter "v". You can add the Square Root symbol in the default dictionary manager, and then jaws will read it correctly. This is how I did it: 1. Open notepad. 2. Press ALT+251, this will insert the Square Root symbol. 3. Note that Jaws will read the Square Root symbol as letter "V". 4. Select and copy the symbol without any spaces. 5. Open the Jaws default dictionary manager from the Jaws utilities submenu. 6. Select the Add button to add new entry in the Dictionary. 6. Paste the symbol in the "Actual word" edit box. 7. Type "Square Root" in the "Replacement word" edit box. 8. Tab to OK. Hope this helps, Zaheer Sheikh ----- Original Message ----- From: jerry martin To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2011 7:54 AM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Character code for check mark in MS Word 2007 I tried the ALT 251 keystroke. Does it say "VEE"? If so, then it works (I am assuming since I have no usable vision). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike & Barbara" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2011 9:00 AM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Character code for check mark in MS Word 2007 > Hi Jerry; > > The square root symbol is what's supposed to be used for the checkmark > symbol.
