Hi Again Anna, Below are steps for changing punctuation in the Settings Center Default All Applications:
Note: The apostrophy & dollar sign are only examples. You can change how Jaws speaks the apostrophy in the Settings Centter default all applications by doing the following. If you only want to change the punctuation settings in a particular application just open the Settings Center while in the particular application by pressing Insert + 6, on the number row above the main keyboard to open the Settings Center for that particular application: 1. Press Insert + 6, on the number row above the main keyboard to open the Settings Center, & press, Control, shift, + D, to open default all applications. 2. Arrow down to, Punctuation closed & press right arrow to open. 3. Arrow down to customize punctuation & press the spacebar to open. Don't press enter here, if you press enter instad of the spacebar, the Settings Center will close. 4.A. When making changes in the customize punctuation list, if you do not want Jaws to speak/recognize a particular punctuation mark you want to choose the " all " selection. You will have 4 radio buttons to arrow up or down through. They are none, some, most, & all. In these selections they work backwards than what you would think. For example; If you choose " none " for the dollar sign, Jaws will speak / recognize every dollar sign in whatever you are reading. On the other hand, if you choose the " all " radio button, Jaws will not speak / recognize any dollar signs. 4.B. After you pressed the spacebar on customize punctuation, you are now in a list of punctuation marks. Arrow down the list and when you have the punctuation mark you want to change highlighted, tab 1 time to the radio buttons that I mentioned earlier. 5. Keeping in mind what I mentioned earlier about these choices working backwards, select the box in this list, in your case not wanting any apostrophy's spoken, choose the all button. 6. Now, if you want to make a change to another punctuation mark, shift tab back to the list and highlight a different punctuation mark, tab back to the radio buttons and select the box you prefer. 7. After you are done making your changes tab to okay and press the spacebar. 8. Tab to apply, press the spacebar, tab to okay, press the spacebar to save your changes & close the Settings Center. Now, I hope that you are not as confused as I am after typing all of this. LOL Hope this has helped. Take care. Mike Global warming?
