Sorry about that. Guess I'm a little out of element with the more recent 
versions of JAWS. It took a while to reply as I had some issues with my 
internet connection.

>>>>>>>>>Hey guys,
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>First, if you can use Braille and have access to either a 
>>>>>>>>>refreshable
>>>>>>>>>Braille device or Braille embosser, you can check all the same 
>>>>>>>>>spelling,
>>>>>>>>>grammar and structure issues as sighted people.  Just a quick plug 
>>>>>>>>>for
>>>>>>>>>Braille.  *smile*
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>If you solely use JAWS to edit, though, it is not always as 
>>>>>>>>>difficult as
>>>>>>>>>you might think.  It is an adjustment, but it can be done.  One big
>>>>>>>>>helpful feature of JAWS is that you can turn on a feature that will 
>>>>>>>>>read
>>>>>>>>>all punctuation including commas and apostrophies.  Go to the JAWS
>>>>>>>>>window and pull up the option menu, then go to basics, then tab 
>>>>>>>>>until
>>>>>>>>>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
>>>>>>>>>after the New Year) who will talk about how to use JAWS for editing
>>>>>>>>>purposes.
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>Anyway, hope this helps.
