Subject: WE and calculator


I have been trying to solve a challenge that I am having with the built-in 
calculator of Windows. Running XP Sp3, in case that should matter, with WE7.2.

When entering a calculation, WE does not read things much correctly. Let's say, 
I want to have the number 404.92 divided by 71.80. So, I enter 404, then press 
the decimal sign(period), and WE anounces 404. Then I continue with 92, and 
when pressing the slash (devisor sign), WE will say 'divided by 92'. But hello, 
that is not even the case. I have actually entered 404.92 followed by the 
slash, and am now ready to enter the divisor. Why then, does We announce it as 
404 divided by 92?

If now, I go on with my calculation, entring 71 followed by the decimal sign, 
WE will immediately tell me 71. And, when I finalize my entry with 80, followed 
by the Enter key for the Equals, that '80' is not even spoken by WE. It simply 
goes on reading out the results.

It is quite frustrating to me, specially since I have tried to turn off the 
different dictionaries, made sure that the Calc setfile is loaded; and still 
cannot seem to have Window-Eyes read my calculations correctly, as you would 
have expected from a talking calculator. Any fixes that I might try? Or, anyone 
know of a good 'reliable' calculator for the PC, that will read out the entries 
correctly?

Is this yet another of the 'rock-solids' of WE, that it cannot even read simple 
calculations correctly? :)
