>>>>>>>>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."
