Subject: Re: Disabling "copyright" symbol in Word 2016

 

Hello,

 

I have Word 2013, Windows 7, and JAWS 18.  Do you know how to take out the © sign in 2013?  Thank you in advance for this information.

 

Margaret

 

 

 

 

Hi Margaret,

 

There's two ways you can do this. First is easy but has to be done repeatedly, second is more long-winded but fixes it for good.

 

Easy way: whenever you do this and JAWS says "copyright", press Backspace once. When you press the right parenth key, Word changes what you've typed into the copyright symbol and JAWS echoes this. pressing Backspace immediately undoes the change.

 

More long-winded way: Press Alt, F, T to open the Options dialogue.

DownArrow to Proofing

Tab to AutoCorrect Options and press Enter to open the AutoCorrect dialogue

You should be in an edit area. Type (c), that's left parenth c right parenth

Tab to the Delete button and press it

OK out of both dialogues

You should find now typing (c) doesn't give you a copyright symbol at all.

 

Hope that helps,

Steve

 

 

 

Hello,

 

I have lost the answer to this question.  Please write back and tell me how to make the computer not do the © sign unless I want it.
