Hi Susie,
Try the steps below for making the changes in your configuration manager
/
customize punctuation.
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
exclamation marks
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

Welcome to our little group. You can suppress the exclamation point by
using the JAWS Dictionary Manager. Press JAWS key-D to launch it and
then
Shift-Control-D to bring up the default dictionary manager to apply this
change to all applications. Select the Add dialog, and in the Actual
Word
edit field type "!" (without quotes) and in the Replacement Word field,
hit
the Space bar. Then tab to Okay and close the Dictionary Manager. Now,
whenever JAWS encounters an exclamation point, its pronunciation will be
silenced.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] JAWS and puntuation
Hi All;
I am having a dilemma with my JAWS, and punctuation.I have my JAWS set
to
sum in the punctuation, so JAWS does not say the punctuation, such as
question,
colon, semi colon, and so on, and it is working the way it is supposed
to,
but for one thing, it keeps saying exclaim when I use the exclamation
mark,
This is annoying, as I am a writer, and I don't like it to say the
exclaim. So can some one tell me how to fix this problem? Every thing is
right, and
I even tried to put it to say none, but it still says exclaim.
