Flor;
 That was it!
For some reason, in the dictionary manager, the am had an exclamation mark after it.
So I deleted it.

Thanks for that suggestion.

Do you have am! for am [without the exclamation] in your JAWS dictionary.
Press insert+d, and then ctrl-d for the default, and go down the list to
look for it.  If it's not in default, it might be in the application's
dictionary - insert-d.

If you have am [without the exclamationin the .jdf ] delete it from the
dictionary by tabbing to the delete button, spacebar, and then over to ok
and spacebar.  Save with ctrl-s.

Another thing you could

Hi Anette;
   How can I find if there are any editing marks turned on?
I have also noticed that even when reading a web page that JAWS picks up the
same punctuation.
It seems to always be  with a [I am]
When I read the word, "am", JAWS says , am exclamation. When I have JAWS
read each letter, no exclamation is present.
I have not yet had a sighted person look at it yet.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Do you know if it is there visually, or is JAWS reading something that no
one sighted can see?  Is it there when you print the page?  Do you have
some
type of editing marks turned on?

Hi all;
 I have XP home and 10.0.
I have noticed when I proof read some of my editing, that when I come upon
a
word, such as "am", that there is an exclamation mark after it.
I have tried to erase it and retype it, but it still comes out with he
exclamation mark.
Why is this, and how do I change it?

Thanks again.

Rich
