Thanks Rose, that pointed me in the right direction.
Miriam, after reading the what's new section on JAWS 13 for the Quick
Settings feature, this is how it sounds like things should work. While in
the program you are interested in, open Quick Settings with insert v.
Type the word punctuation. Arrow down when JAWS says punctuation and
enter. Now hit the applications menu key, which is just to the left of
the right control key. There are 3 choices for a persistence level in
that menu. Enter on the save the settings choice. Now hit the space bar
on punctuation to get the level you want. Hit enter and, hopefully, your
setting will be saved this time.
I did not remember that there were 2 steps involved, the persistence level
choice and then the amount of punctuation choice.

If you listen to What's new for Jaws 13, there is a setting that will
cause
your settings to be saved or not saved for each program, not sure how it
was
titled, just remember reading it and apparently I figured it out because I
can change settings in every program and retain them.

Joni,
The guy who helps me with my computer had told me that there is only one
default setting which is for all programs and he set it to "none" for
punctuation, but that certainly didn't work. It just seems that I
shouldn't
have to change the setting every time I move in or out of a program. But
at
least, now I know what to do for a temporary fix.

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?
