Dave,

I've determined that the Unicode for MS Word's close quotation is U+201D.
Unfortunately, it doesn't show up in the JAWS list. In fact, I can find only
one quotation-related reference in the "Customize punctuation" list, and
that's the symbol " (quotation mark), without distinction to open or close.

Now my next test will be to see if changing "Say all" from "by sentence" to
something else will help.

Weird that no one else seems to be experiencing this, but I remember it from
previous versions of Word, JAWS and computers. One of the reasons I have
such a prejudice against it.

Adrian,

Yes, default would be necessary, and I found the list of various punctuation

controls under "Customize punctuation". This allows fine-tuning of
individual symbols and their level of speaking.

Is this where you went to make the adjustment?

In that list, there are a whole bunch of symbols with a U+ nomenclature. Try

looking at U+201 and you should find various types of quotes, which you can
also tinker with.

This is getting stranger. I've tried both methods, in their several
varieties, and none works.

No matter what level of punctuation I set, the closing quote is verbalized
if it ends a line. "all" reads everything, of course, but it's read even in
"None." "None" has the additional disadvantage that JAWS no longer pauses at
commas and periods.

Note that you can set punctuation levels only in global, not
application-specific, settings.

Even more mysteriously, when I add this particular quotation mark, which I
copy from the text into my JAWS dictionary, and replace it with a space,
JAWS continues to verbalize it in "say all."

Can anyone surmise what's going on?

You could also change the setting for word alone, if that's the only app
that bothers you.

Adrian,

I'm thinking that this is because those quotes are not the simple quotes we
usually find with other apps like Notepad, but one of those special
characters like rtm copyright, that are generated automatically by MS-Word.

My first thought is to highlight one of those quotes and use the JAWS
dictionary manager to substitute a less-offending or a blank space
character.

See if that works.

I believe the true solution is to go into the settings center in the
pronunciation section, and change the level (none, some, most, all) to a
different level. Of course I can't remember whether to reduce or increase,
but a little trial-and-error should make it work.

As a newbie to Word 2010, I'm finding an irritant when reading with "say
all." JAWS says "quote" whenever a line ends with a quotation mark. What
makes it even more distracting is that JAWS has paused after the period, so
the quote" seems to belong to the next line. Can anyone suggest how to
eliminate this gnat?



I have JAWS 14 and Win7. My punctuation is set to "some," and I'd prefer not
to switch between punctuation settings each time I stop 'say all" in order
to edit.
