I called tech support and they showed me how to do it. This is after others said it could not be done. I think what they meant though is that it cannot be done in the same way as Jaws 10 worked. Thank you so much. I am glad to have these steps written down.

From the JAWS menu or window, choose the options menu, then Voices and then Voice Adjustment. The voice profile for your default synthesizer will then be open. 2. Tab down to the punctuation level and select all. 3. Tab to the Save as button and press enter. Give the profile a different name, such as proof reading. 4. If it asks you if you want this new profile to be your default profile, answer no. 5. Open Outlook express. 6. While in Outlook Express, press JAWSkey+control+s to open the Select a Voice profile dialog. 7. Tab once and it should say for Outlook Express use default and you'll be in a combo box. 8. Select the new profile and tab to the OK button and press enter. Now when you open Outlook Express, it alone will use this new profile. -----Original Message----- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Sherri Sent: Tuesday, August 21, 2012 02:14 To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] configuring punctuation in individual applications I am very disappointed that this does not work and that changes are only possible globally. I don't understand why they can be made temporarily, but not permanently.

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.
