Hi Andrew,
This can be changed in Quick Settings of an
application, Jaws key + V, or in the, Settings Center default all applications,
Jaws key + 6, then, control, shift + D.
In the search field type, punctuation, and
when the results populate you want, Punctuation Level.
Press the spacebar on the Punctuation level to
toggle through your options and for what you're looking for you want to stop
when you hear Jaws report, All.
In Quick settings after making the change tab
to Okay and press enter to save / close.
In the Settings Center after making the change
tab to apply press the spacebar and tab to okay and press enter to save /
close.
A hotkey can be assigned to toggle the
punctuation settings on the fly, if you're interested.
Stay safe and take care. Mike.

Subject: punctuation when reading by word What do I need to adjust, either in Jaws or other
programs, to have Jaws read each word with its punctuation
included?
If I type the following in Notepad:
We went to Washington, D. C. yesterday, and all
was well.
When I read
through the sentence by word, the commas and periods are treated as part of each
word. This is what I want all the time.
If I write that same message in Microsoft Word,
Jaws treats the punctuation as separate words when reading word by
word.
In Ted Notepad, where I really want to work, the
problem gets worse when writing out words with apostrophes followed by commas.
Then you have to deal with three stops when reviewing by word. This makes it
especially hard when writing any kind of code, because Jaws stops at every
parenthesis and bracket.
Can someone help?
