Just to add to Mike's explanation, be sure you follow his steps with the application in focus where you want the * symbol verbalized differently.

Open the application you want to work with, & press, Insert / Jaws key + D, to open that application's dictionary manager. 2. You should be on the, Add... button, so press the spacebar to open. Press your backspace key a couple of times to make sure any text that might be here is deleted. 3. Type the, * , star symbol. Now I'm assuming you're meaning the star symbol you get by typing, Shift + 8, on the number row above the main keyboard. 4. Tab to, Replacement Word, press the spacebar to open, enter the replacement text, UnReconciled in a home budgit. 5. Tab to, Okay, press enter, press, Control + S, to save, & Alt +F4, to close. If this doesn't work let us know what happened. Using the above steps it worked on my Windows 7 Pro computer. Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Arguing with a woman is like reading a software license agreement. In the end you have to ignore everything, & click I agree. ----- Original Message ----- From: Robin To: jaws list Sent: Saturday, March 03, 2018 1:25 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] I wont to chane the star Punctuation to say something else I just want the star simble to say UnReconciled in a home budgit which I use. Many thanks robin. Can anyone help. When I Choose Customize Punctuation it says This setting is only available in the Default/All Applications Is there anyway you can do it just for one program. I just want to change one individual punctuation to say something in one application not every program. Many thanks. Cheers Robin. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Email Sent using, "Becky!" Internet Mail Client version 2.73".
