Thank you everybody for your help in this issue. I knew it was something I for got. The thing that I learned was that you need to put global in the off mode and then save your set file before you do anything to it because if you try to change the settings it will not compute for you. now I have all my set files to how I want them. Thanks again! PS save them after your changes other wise it will erase everything you have done to them.

Now, I can written guarantee, and, this, you are doing right, when you create your set file, either by overwriting one, or, in your case, saving your own and associating it, just go to your global menu, and, I'll bet my next decade's pay it's set to voice and verbosity, or some other stuff like that. from the first time I installed window-eyes version 2.0 over 13 years ago, and, grant you, it's a pain where the sun don't shine, whenever and wherever I create a set file, the first thing I do, is to make sure all that global stuff is turned off, now, in the newer versions, I believe starting with 5.5, you also gotta make sure your menu level is at advanced, or, most of the program is missing. With the global stuff off, you can set any speech stuff, keyboard stuff, punctuation, whatever, and, you affect nothing else but that set file, which, in my book anyway, is half the problems a lot of these guys experience with stuff either not reading right, or, speech settings not being saved, etc., etc., etc. Frankly, Juan, and, again, to me anyway, this goes back all the way to even version 1.03, which, I had my hands on with an old heap that was running windows 3.1, the default settings of window-eyes leave much to be desired, but, on the other side of that coin, it's still probably one of the only screen readers out there, and, over the years, I've had my hands on most of them, that allows one to create their own environments, whether speech, keyboard, hot keys, general cursoring, you name it. Anyway, keep me posted, am sure, once you set the things up right, you'll be set to go.

I don't know if it is something I am doing wrong or what. I have tried to set a set file to Adobe to read text slower than what I am normally use to but when I save the set file it changes it for all of my programs. I have also tried to change the name of the set file and when it asks me if I want to associate it with whatever I have tried saying yes and no. Even then with yes or no it still changes my setting for my other set files. If somebody could help it would be great or if you could direct me to where I can learn more about this please do.
