Thanks Brian Lee! I really appreciate your instructions! I do so hate
hearing that darned "Period Period Period.

Hello Vicky,
If you set your punctuation verbosity to "most" and change a specific
punctuation level to "all" in the customize punctuation dialog box in the
configuration manager, the specific punctuation should not be announced
any
more.
1. Use JAWS key with V to bring up the verbosity dialog box and press
the
letter "p" until the punctuation choice is in focus.
2. If the punctuation is set to "most" then just escape out-of-the box.
If
it is set to "all" then use spacebar to change the level.
3. Use insert+f2 to bring up a list of JAWS managers, press C until the
configuration manager is chosen and press enter key.
4. Use CTRL+shift+D to bring up the default configuration manager.
5. Use Alt+S to go into the settings menu, use down arrow key to the
"customize punctuation" choice and press enter key.
6. A list of punctuation marks will come into view. Press a period (key
by
the comma) to move to the period choice and use spacebar to change the
level
to "all" if it is not at that setting already.
7. Use the end key to move to the ellipsis choice and press spacebar to
set
it to the "all" choice.
8. Use tab key to the OK button and use spacebar.
9. Use CTRL+S to save changes and close the configuration manager using
Alt+f4.
Microsoft Word actually changes the three periods in a row to the ellipsis
symbol. Editors sometimes require three dots with spaces between them or
if
an entire sentence is left out they want four dots separated with spaces
after the first one. This can cause a problem if the dots are at the end
of
a line as the Word ellipsis won't break over lines. This problem is
usually
resolved by changing the auto correct function for the ellipsis, by
creating
auto text or by using a macro assigned to a hotkey. It usually also
involves the use of non breaking spaces between the dots. If the ellipses
that you are hearing have not been changed into the ellipsis symbol by the
book authors or editors then you might need to change the level of
announcement of the period as well as the level for the ellipsis.
Take care.

Hi, I would like to turn off the announcement of the period off. When I'm
reading a book and there is ... an ellipsis, for a long pause, I hate it
saying "period period period".
Please tell me how you did that!
Many thanks! Vicky

Hi Everyone,
At some point I went into the keyboard manager and turned the
announcement
of the period
Off. I have no idea how to correct this. The period still works when
depressed, but jaws says nothing.
Can someone help me turn this back on.
Doug
