Munawar,

what you could try to prevent this (logical) behaviour is, to add the following 
two "words" to the dictionary: 

1. " '"
2. "' "

that way, ' signs in words should not be ignored. 

I did not test that, but it should work, if WE works a straight way.

  Hi,
  Thanks for the suggestion. I tried this but it made words like "don't" be 
pronounced as "don t". I also tried having no replacement for it but got the 
same results, IE: the original with an empty replacement string. I'm thinking I 
can script it but am having trouble figuring out how I'd avoid these same 
problems with the scripted version.

  Munawar, 

  if you really only want to have the ' not spoken, so maybe the following 
could work too:

  just add ' to your dictionary and label it with a space. As long as you won't 
let we speak spaces, this also should work. I did that once with another sign.
  But this may be not working with your settings.

    Munawar,

    Yes; set the punctuation level to "dictionary only." Window-Eyes will then 
speak only the symbols you've defined in the active character dictionary. See 
section 16 of the WE manual for specifics on how to do this.

    Best regards,
    Steve

      Hi, 
      I am wondering if there is a way to turn off certain punctuation but 
leave the rest on that falls into that category. For instance, if I turn on 
misc punctuation, W E reads everything--including single quote marks. I'd like 
to specify it to read everything but turn off single quotes ('). Is there a way 
to do this? If not, can this be implemented? Thanks much!
