Re: [JAWS-Users] changing how a word is red
Thanks Adrian that worked a treat.

Here, you'll be trying to change a default that VFO has built into JAWS, but I assume you can override it. Place focus on the "co." (including the full stop/period). Press JAWS key-d to open the JAWS dictionary. If you want your change to apply across all applications, press control-shift-d. Otherwise, be sure your focus is in the app concerned, presumably your email client. Press spacebar to add an entry. Check that the first edit field has the three characters, co. If it doesn't, add the full stop. Tab to the replacement edit field. Here, I imagine you'd type co, without the full stop. Press enter. Press control-s to save. Exit with alt-F4. It's possible this method won't work, but it may give you an idea how to tinker away to correct the pronunciation. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List On Behalf Of mail Sent: Tuesday, June 26, 2018 6:37 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] changing how a word is red Hi all Using outlook 2016, windows 10 and Jaws 2018.
