Hello Joanne,
If you want to use superscript and subscript text in Word instead of using
the ordinals, but you don't want JAWS to announce the superscript or
subscript attributes, then you can simply turn off the "enhanced edit"
choice in JAWS 9. This will work for Microsoft Word as the enhanced edit
mode is checked by default in the Microsoft Word.JCF file. You might not
notice the change right away, but if you type new text or close the program
and start it again, the change will take effect.
Open the Microsoft Word Configuration Manager. Use Insert with F2 to bring
up the list of managers and then press C until you get to the Configuration
Manager. Press enter to open the Microsoft Word.JCF file. Press Alt with S
to bring up the settings menu and then use the down arrow key to find the
"Text processing" choice and press the enter key. In the resultant dialog
box use the tab key until you get to the "enhanced edit support" checkbox
and press spacebar to uncheck the box. Use the tab key to move to the OK
button and press enter. Use CTRL-S to save changes and close the Microsoft
Word.JCF file.
The above should stop JAWS from announcing the superscript and subscript
text attributes. The enhanced edit mode is checked by default in the
Microsoft Word.JCF settings but not in the Default.JCF. Of course, if you
want to use ordinals instead of superscript then you can go into the tools
menu in Microsoft Word, use down arrow until you get to the AutoCorrect
choice and press enter. Use the tab key to move to the page tabs. You will
hear JAWS say something like "AutoCorrect tab." use the right arrow to move
to the "AutoFormat as you type" page and arrow down to the "ordinals with
superscript" choice and press the spacebar to uncheck it. When you press
the spacebar JAWS should say either "checked" or "unchecked." Use tab key
to move to the OK button and press enter.
Take care.
