When you've entered the Config manager, press alt-s then p, then press
JAWSKey+F1, and we get:
Select the punctuation symbol to modify from this list. To change how
JAWS speaks the
symbol, press F2. To change the level at which JAWS speaks
the symbol, press SPACEBAR. The symbol is always announced
at and above the specified punctuation level. For example,
setting a symbol to none means that JAWS always speaks it.
In addition, if you want a symbol to not be spoken, you must first
set the default punctuation to Most or lower and then, set the level
for the character to be silenced to All. These changes only
affect the active synthesizer.
Therefore, All means Silence All. None means silence None; but you must
first change the default punctuation to Most or All. Why? Another JAWS
mystery. tune in to the next installment! .

Hi Victoria and others,
I was completely wrong about the punctuation thinking that all meant
it was
on for all situations, even if that's not what I said.
So are the exclaims surrounded by spaces or in some other way are they
written differently than what you would expect?
It may make a difference too what synth you are using.
Sorry for the misinfo.
Jon

Hi Victoria,
You will need to use the Configuration Manager for this as follows
since the
"Exclaim: is on by default, even with Punctuation set to "none".
You do this from within the application you wish to change punctuation
for.
I don't know what program you are reading in but if (when you open
config
manager) you get a "new configuration dialog", press enter to create
one for
the current application.
If you don't, then the one which exists for say Notepad or Ms-Word for
example will load automatically when you do the following.
1. Open the Config Manager with jawsKey plus Numrow6.
2. Press alt plus the letter S followed by the letter P to open the
"Customize punctuation dialog".
3. The first item in the list is "Exclaim" and is set to all.
Tab once and you have a group of "punctuation level" radio buttons
with "the
all" radio button already selected which says what level of
punctuation
category that symol is assigned to.
4. Press downarrow for none and press enter.
5. Save your changes with Control plus s and alt plus F4 closes the
manager.
Hope this does the trick and there is a Restore Default button in that
same
dialog if you don't like the results.
Jon

Hi, No I haven't turned it off in the Configuration Manager, because I
thought that there my only option was to alter the default. I still
want
to have the keyboark echo a punctuation key, when I type it. Or if I
am
going across character by character, checking my typing. I just don't
want
to hear any punctuation, when I'm reading in a "Say All" situation.
Do you
have any sugestions for that spacific situation?
I would be very greatful!

Victoria, have you tried setting the punctuation in the jaws
configuration
manager?
