Use the "speech and sound schemes manager" to accomplish your goal. press
the jaws hotkey insert+alt+S to bring up the speech and sound schemes
dialog. then, in the list view, arrow , up or down to any item that has
"attributes" in the name. Personally, I usually use the "classic with
attributes, fonts and colors" selection when I'm proofreading a document.
then OK the dialog. Now, as you arrow up and down through your document,
whenever an underlined, bolded, or italicized chunk of text is encountered,
JAWS will say so in a slightly different voice. when the attributed text
ends, (when the Italics end and the document returns to normal text), JAWS
will say "normal.
You can read more about this in the JAWS basic training that came with JAWS.
From the JAWS window, Press Alt+H for the help menu, then press enter on the
"training" item. That'll put you into the FS daisy reader and all the basic
training books are listed there. You may have to download the materials -
just press enter on the "xtra-speech and sounds manager" book you want and
if it needs to be downloaded, jaws will download it for you.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] MS Word and Emphasized words
To all Listers:
Please forgive the sometimers if this has been discussed before. I am
needing to know how to set JAWS to read words, in MS Word 2007, that are
emphasized by italics. I looked under the JAWS verbosity settings and
could not find what I am looking for. Any help will be accepted with an
attitude of thanks. I am using Windows Vista, 32 bit system, and JAWS
version 11.
Jerry
