[NFBCS] How Do I Get JAWS 2021 to Say "Blank" Instead of "Paragraph mark" in Word

[Nicole Torcolini]

            So, I have no idea if I turned this on by accident or if JAWS
2020 was just ignoring it, but, somehow, I had show all formatting marks
turned on. Sorry for not doing a more thorough examination of the settings.

Hello Nicole:

 

First off, go into Word and ensure that paragraph marks are not displayed
within the document. You do this by going to File > Options> Display. I
usually like to have my paragraph marks displayed; hence, I made this
change, and JAWS 2021 behaved as it should in my case.

 

Since I myself like to hear HAWS tell me about paragraph marks, I went into
the Sound Schemes manager and change "paragraph mark" to "Parra.".

 

I believe the first option will solve your problem, but I can't for the life
of me figure out how you got the paragraph marks to be displayed in Word to
begin with.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Cordially,

 

Curtis Chong

            With JAWS 2020, when reading by character in Word, new lines

were announced as "Blank". Now, with JAWS 2021, JAWS says "Paragraph mark".

I prefer the former. Does anyone know how to switch it back, or if it is

even possible? Also, I tried it with the default JAWS settings, and it did

the same thing.

 

 

 

Nicole
