Hi Darran, In the default configuration manager on the customize punctuation page I show 5 different kinds of bullits using Jaws 10.0.1151. In this list of punctuations, numbers 37 through 41, are the different types of bullits. When making changes in the customize punctuation list, if you do not want Jaws to speak/recognize a particular punctuation mark you want to choose the " all " selection. You will have 4 radio buttons to arrow up or down through. They are none, some, most, & all. In these selections they work backwards than what you would think. For example; If you choose " none " for the dollar sign, Jaws will speak / recognize every dollar sign in whatever you are reading. On the other hand, if you choose the " all " radio button, Jaws will not speak / recognize any dollar signs. To make a change to a particular punctuation sign follow the steps below. 1. Press Jaws/insert key + 6 on the number row for configuration manager. 2. Press control,shift, +D , to select the default configuration manager, then press alt + S to open the default configuration manager. 3. Press the letter" P " or arrow down to customize punctuation and press enter. 4. You are now in a list of punctuation marks. Arrow down the list and when you have the punctuation mark you want to change highlighted, tab 1 time to the radio buttons that I mentioned earlier. 5. Keeping in mind what I mentioned earlier about these choices working backwards, check the box in this list, in your case not wanting any bullits spoken, choose the all button. 6. Now, if you want to make a change to another punctuation mark, shift tab back to the list and highlight a different punctuation mark, tab back to the radio buttons and check the box you prefer. 7. After you are done making your changes tab to okay and press enter. 8. Press control + S to save your changes and Alt +F4 to close the default configuration manager and you are done. Now, I hope that you are not as confused as I am after typing all of this. LOL Hope this has helped. Take care. Mike

Can anyone tell me if there's a way to silence the announcement of the bullet symbol? I've tried doing this via the JAWS dictionary, but this simply doesn't work! I feel sure there must be a way to achieve this, and would appreciate any help. Regards.
