You could customize your punctuation in Microsoft Word. Open its
Settings Center (or JAWS Configuration manager), then choose alt-s for
Settings , p for Punctuation. UNDERSTAND that the customize punctuation
dialogue works counter to how the JAWS general punctuation settings are
spoken. If you customize a sign's punctuation setting to NONE, it means
there in the application you're setting the values for that that
punctuation sign will never be silenced. Conversely, if you were to
customize a particular punctuation sign to ALL, that means that it will
always be silenced where you are setting it. After you have customized
your punctuations in word to your requirements, I would then go and
lower the general punctuation for JAWS. In an application or program,
the customized punctuation settings take precedence over the general
JAWS punctuation settings. Just remember that they work oppositely, (as
eoutlined above). Also be aware that some speech synthesizers are
hard-wired to speak certain signs; the apostrophe ' for example being
one of Eloquence's bugbears.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] configuring punctuation in individual applications
I am using Jaws 12, which I just installed and running Windows XP. I do
work
where it is necessary to have all the punctuation read when in
Microsoft
Word. It looks like the only way to change punctuation is in the
default
configuration settings, but I don't want every application reading
punctuation levels. How do I change punctuation levels for individual
applications? I have been playing with this for quite some time and
can't
figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.
