I use the same method Mike stated, I wasn't aware it also could be done in notepad too.

If you do try the following: 1. With the email open press, control + A, to select all the text in the email &, control + C, to copy it to the clipboard. 2. Open a new Word document & paste the text into the Word doc. 3. Press, control + H, to open the find & replace dialog. 4. In the, Find What, field type the greater than sign. 5. Tab 1 time to the Replace With field, & put in a space with the spacebar or, you can leave this field blank. 6. Tab to the , Replace All, button & press the spacebar. You will hear Jaws report that there's been X amount of replacements blah, blah. I don't recall the exact lingo. 7. Press Escape to close the Find & Replace dialog 8. Press, Control + A, to select all the text &, control + C, to copy it to the clipboard. 9. Now go back to your email & forward it to yourself. You can edit the subject field if you desire, tab to the message field, select all & delete. Now paste the cleaned text from the clipboard & edit the text as you find necessary to be edited & send it to yourself. You'll now have a clean email to save. HTH Take care. Mike This email was sent from my, iBarstool. ----- Original Message ----- From: Judy To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, May 09, 2014 4:33 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] getting rid of greater signs Hi, all, I have an email with something I was going to save. I am editing it and want to remove about a zillion greater signs which is very irritating to listen to. I can hit either control F or control H and it will bring up the find box and I then type in the greater sign. Well it finds all of them, but there is no place where it says to delete it as I tab through the options. I told it to find all, but then I was stuck. I am using outlook 2003 with jaws 13 and win 7. thanks.
