[stylist] Editing with JAWS

[Judith Bron]

Bridget, Before my hard drive was replaced Jaws told me when on a line that 
I had whatever number of spelling/grammer errors on that line.  I can' 
remember how to get that back.  Also, this told me that a word was 
misspelled right after I spelled it.  I already have jaws set to announce 
all punctuation.  Judith

> you hear punctuation and select "all punctuation ."  The short cut is to
> press insert and V which will bring up the verbocity dialogue box, then
> it will list different options, press P until you hear punctuation,
> press space bar to change the punctuation mode.  Do this until you hear
> "all."

> By the way, we will have a guest speaker for a monthly meeting (probably
