Thanks to Tom, Doris and Robert. Now "Read only edit" is vanquished.

I'd tried both your suggestion, Tom (great minds!), but they didn't work. I've just done as Robert suggested, and so far so good. Note that you enter the JAWS dictionary with JAWS key+d. I'm so accustomed to pressing control-shift-d for the JAWS dictionary's global setting that I forgot the default is to limit pronunciation changes to the open application. Doris, thanks for alerting me to the scripts, which I'll be looking into. However, I'm not sure they're needed because I've been able to access each of the Wordweb functions I've tried so far.

Subject: RE: The Sage Dictionary You could replace the words "read only edit" through the Jaws dictionary manager--(alt d) to enter the manager and simply replace those words with a space. This is the default entry that will be active across all applications. You could also use the app-specific dictionary manager. -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:jfw-bounces@...] On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt Sent: February-13-13 7:42 PM To: 'The Jaws for Windows support list.' Subject: RE: The Sage Dictionary Doris, I took your advice and downloaded Wordweb. It is easy to understand and navigate. It ought to meet my needs for an off-line dictionary. For me, and others, it has only one problem that I've noticed so far, but it's a very distracting one. Each time I open a definition, JAWS says, "Read only edit." Each time I arrow down through the definition, I get the same verbalization: "Read only edit. Read only edit." Have you experienced this? If so, have you solved it? I'm using Win7 with JAWS 14. I've tested a few options in the quick settings dialog, but without success. I virtualized the definition window and switched off the meddlesome graphics, but other random words entered into the window and disrupted the flow. So far, Wordweb is the best option, but I think "Read only edit" is going to haunt my dreams and prevent me from taking advantage of it unless you or someone else tells me how to make it go away. -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:jfw-bounces@...] On Behalf Of Doris and Chris Sent: Sunday, February 10, 2013 7:19 PM To: The Jaws for Windows support list. Subject: Re: The Sage Dictionary Don't forget Wordweb that in its basic version is free and accessible out of the box. It is a wonderful dictionary and thesaurus for the English language that I have been using since before I lost my sight in 1998. I have not used the Sage dictionary though I think I have a copy of it flying around here somewhere.
