Peter,
Just use what used to be the ASCII / Attribute hotkey which turned into
the ANSI / Attribute hotkey which is now Unicode / Attribute hotkey.
Oh, how times have changed <smile>. With the cursor on the character
simply press ctrl-numpad-delete. Or if the mouse is on the character
press control-insert-numpad-delete.
Regards,
Doug

Hi Doug,
Thanks for the clarification about the m dash. Yes, it is much
clearer when only dash is spoken! How do I read the code for a
character - so I can determine which character is actually there?
Yes, my P.S. was garbled; I misinterpreted what was happening. My
choice of SAPI synthesizer was repeating the prior character instead
of reading the current character typed. As John covici pointed out,
dates spoken with question mark instead of slash as the delimiter is
do to the choice of Sapi synthesizer. Switching to DecTalk
Window-Eyes resolves the problems.
Thanks for your patience, Peter

Peter,
Your message didn't have a lot of detail <smile> so I'm going to
make assumptions.
I'm going to assume when you say ctrl-alt-minus no longer inserts
an m dash that you are saying it says it in inserting a simple
dash instead. You didn't mention if it did anything but for me it
spoke "dash" but did in fact insert a m dash. You can verify this
by looking at the unicode character for the dash and you'll see
that it is in fact 2014 hex. We have a file called charname.ini
that tells Window-Eyes what to speak for most unicode characters.
For 2014 we have it saying "dash" mainly because we were told that
saying "m dash" was to verbose in some applications. So you could
override this in Word if you choose by using the character
dictionary or even change the default setting in the charname.ini
file but I really don't want to see people changing this file and
then calling our support 6 weeks later saying something isn't
speaking correctly <smile>.
As for your P.S. statement, I didn't follow that at all. Can you
please explain what you were saying in more detail?
Regards,
Doug

The keyboard handler messes up the Numeric Keypad: Ctrl + Alt +
Minus no longer inserts an m dash.

P.S. In this e-mail message, the final character in my name is
not entered correct; rather the prior character gets entered.
