Miriam, as an alternative to Quick Settings, I opened the Settings
Center with insert and 6 on the numbers row. I typed punctuation
into
the edit box and it said it could only be modified through the
default
setting, which would then I assume affect all programs, not just the
one you want. My settings using quick Settings have seemed to hold
for me, so I don't know what to suggest.
Maybe someone with more experience and expertise with JAWS can help
you sort it out. I am curious now also to know if punctuation an be
set for each program or only as an across the board default setting.

Ah, but the setting doesn't remain. It was fine when I made it and
read
your email. But when I came back to the email, the punctuation was
back.

Miriam, you should be able to set punctuation to some, most, all or
none
through the Quick Settings in JAWS 13.
Open this with the insert key and v. When it opens you will be in
the
edit
box. In the edit box start typing the word punctuation. When JAWS
says
punctuation, arrow down once. You can cycle through the various
punctuation
levels by hitting the spacebar. When you get the choice you want,
then hit
the tab key to okay and hit enter. You should be able to do this in
any
program you have open. I have not paid much attention to punctuation
on my
personal computer, so I don't know how reliable JAWS is once this
setting is
changed, but that is how to change it in any given program.

It seems to me that in "the good old days" Jaws 10 and before, I had
jaws
settings which allowed me to hear full punctuation in word and no
punctuation when I read emails or articles from the web. I was
working in
those days and writing adoption home study reports and I needed to
hear all
that punctuation, but I didn't need to hear it if I was reading an
article
or an email. Now, it seems that even if punctuation is set to
"none",
I
still hear it when reading emails and articles from the web. Is this
everyone's experience? Am I doing tomsething wrong?
