properly Which synthesizer are you using?
I just tried this in Word 2016 with Jaws 2019, latest, using Vocalizer Expressive Tom. I wrote out several numbers in Word from 4 to 9 digits and all spoke correctly in Say All. I noticed in the number settings in Jaws settings, there is an option for when 5 or more digits; but that seemed related to date processing, I ran that up to 8 digits, but it made no difference in how the large numbers are read. They are spoken for me like 10,500,000 is said 10 million, five hundred thousand. With a dollar sign it speaks dollars. Again, this was in a word document using say all.
Having said that, there are some odd issues with Jaws 2019 that effect some but not others. For me, it is desktop shortcut keys work with jaws 2018 but not 2019. This is a strange Jaws release, even though it brought some great new features…

Greetings, Mike.
I already have the JAWS settings set to the ones mentioned in your mail.
Also, this problem of JAWS treating digits appearing before & after a comma as seperate sets of digits happens only when in say all mode. This problem does not happen when reading line by line.

Dear Listers,
When reading numbers seperated by commas, JAWS will speak the digits before & after the comma as if they were seperate sets. For example, when reading 7,000 it will read 7 & 000 with a small pause in between instead of reading it as seven thousand. This happens only in Microsoft Word & not in Wordpad, Windows Live Mail or in browsers.
I am using JAWS 2019 on a Windows 10 machine with Office 2016. Also, this problem does not happen when using JAWS 18 on the same machine.
Kindly advise how I can stop JAWS from speaking the digits before & after the comma as seperate sets of digits.
Thanking all in advance for any assistance.
Regards Mr.
Sameer Latey
