[stylist] Editing with JAWS

[Donna Hill]

Bridget,
Thanks, switching Jaws to read all punctuation is an excellent 
suggestion. It never even occurred to me. It's a pain when you're just 
reading something, but for editing it's a great idea. That will probably 
make a difference in how Jaws reads Spell Check as well.
