I just open the specific application like for instance windows live mail
and use
insert control s for the voice profile
When I use this key stroke jaws says:

Subject: [JAWS-Users] CREATING VOICE PROFILES FOR JAWS 12
There may be some users on the list who were confused about this as I was.
I just couldn't figure out how to create a special voice profile for
different applications I'm using.
Here's what I mean. I prefer to have my e-mail read with the default
Eloquence voice since that's the one used by Jaws to read the messages.
But if I'm working in Word, I prefer to have another voice read documents.
Weird, maybe. But that's what I wanted to create.
Below, are the steps taught to me by Dennis at Freedom Scientific Technical
Support.
They work quite well so I'm sending them along in case someone else might be
having the same problem.
CREATING APPLICATION SPECIFIC PROFILES IN JAWS 12:
1. Press Insert J to activate the jaws window.
2. Press Enter on Options which is the environment first offered by
Jaws.
3. Press V for the Voice and choose all Contexts or specific voices
as you choose.
4. Choose the synthesizer you want to use for both the standard
reading and Say All options, then move through the settings, creating the
profile with your preferred choices.
5. Tab past the Okay button to Save As and press Enter.
6. If Eloquence is your default, the name will appear in the field.
Erase it and replace the name with a new Voice Profile title.
7. I use the name of the application for each new profile: Word,
Outlook, Excel and so on.
8. Jaws will ask you if you want to change the default. Tab to no
and press Enter.
9. If the application you want to use isn't already open, open it
now.
10. Use the Control-Insert-S to open the Voice Profiles window.
11. Move the pointer down until you have focused on the new profile you
just created.
12. Tab to the dialog which asks you if you want that particular profile
as a default when opening the application you are now using.
13. Press Enter on Yes and the jaws window will close.
14. Your focus will be returned to the application window but from now on,
every time you open that particular application, the new profile will be
used.
15. If you find it necessary to make changes, open the jaws window while
the application is running and the changes will apply only to that voice
profile and will not affect the default.
CHANGING THEDEFAULT: Don't change the default jaws profile unless you are
absolutely sure that those settings can be used in all unspecified
environments. That is a risky choice and personally, I'd rather create a
separate profile for things like Internet Explorer or for any other
application.
