It is a bug, and how you fix it is go to your punctuation level and set it to all. From there just bring down items, that way you don't need to deal with apostrophe. Thanks, Brandon Keith Biggs -----Original Message-----

Subject: RE: Jaws saying apostrophe too many times Dave, I have punctuation set to most in just about everything I run, at home or here at the office, except my Bible, where I use none. Regarding that, the Bible will still read apostrophe, when it serves as a single quote, but only in The bible. I never hear it anywhere else, except in a few oddball possessives. Sometimes the relationship of a character to another character can be a determining factor. When I create a particular report, JAWS doesn't always follow its own rules. For example, I use some date processing, but this report will read a date such as 04/05/2013 as 04 slash 05 slash 1 3. I discovered it only happens when the number runs slap up against a paragraph mark. If I place a period to the immediate right of the date, JAWS reads the date properly, but it also reads the period ("dot"). Again, this is because the period is right up against the paragraph mark. It might behave normally if I hid the paragraph mark, but I'd sooner put up with the anomaly than lose the paragraph mark.

Subject: Re: Jaws saying apostrophe too many times It is my impression that the punctuation marks are present, but that they are being spoken unnecessarily.
