I received the following directions from someone on another list, for changing the punctuation settings. These apply to all applications, apparently, and they appear to be permanent. They are different from what most of you have suggested. Insert J O for options V for voices V again for voice settings Tab to punctuation. Arrow through choices. I arrowed up to find "none". When you find the setting you want, tab to OK. Then press enter. But my computer made a rude sound when I pressed enter so I guess that wasn't acceptable.
I just did this a few minutes ago and the setting seems to apply to all programs. I assume this is permanent, I hope, I can then use quick settings if I want punctuation for writing a word document.

That program is used whenever no particular arrangements have been made for a particular program. For example, if you are using a web browser such as Internet Explorer, if no profile for that program has been created, then the Jaws 13 default will apply. If you have the punctuation set to All, then you will hear it and no subsequent setting will hold unless you create an independent profile for that particular application. This is what the reps at Freedom Scientific told me and they gave me a set of instructions for doing that. I'd appreciate it if anyone reading this would confirm what I'm saying, here. I don't recommend changing that default for any reason.

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?
