Wow did this thread take a strange turn. I was trying to help out Wayne,
who was trying to cut and paste without the word link showing up in his
document. Wayne is using JAWS 11, so I was restricting my experiments to
that. Then folks said that it could be done, so I wanted to know how,
since I wasn't able to figure out how to do it, which you can't, as I
already knew.
So, I wasn't trying to make it stop saying link for myself, I was trying
to help out someone else.
As for why you would want it to stop saying link? Well, most of the time
it doesn't matter, but there are many web pages, take a look at any
wikipedia article, where every other word is a link, and it is quite
distracting to read it with every third word being link. So, even though
I might not want to turn it off all the time, it would be nice to turn it
off some of the time. I do turn off the stating start and end list
announcements as I find that not terribly useful most of the time.
The fact that you can do it in JAWS 12, is great, and I will do that, but
Wayne was working in JAWS 11 so I was going that route.
Lastly, I am not even sure that suppressing JAWS from speaking the word
link would prevent it from showing up in the cut and paste.
