[stylist] Silencing pesky GreaterThan signs in emails

[Homme, James]

Hi,
If you don't want to alter JAWS, and you use Outlook, do this.

With an e-mail open, press Control+H. This is the Search and Replace dialog. You land in a search for field. Type a > sign. In the replace field, do not type anything. Press Alt+A for replace all. Now you can continue to read the e-mail with the greater than signs removed. When you colse the e-mail, you can either choose to save it or not.

Jim

Subject: [stylist] Silencing pesky GreaterThan signs in emails

When reading a message which has as part of the text a GreaterThan sign at
the beginning of each line and so with the scrolling of each passing line,
you have to hear GreaterThan, GreaterThan, GreaterThan



Want to silence that pesky GreaterThan Sign? If you use JAWS, here is how
you can do that:



Using the JAWS dictionary function-



Be in your email program (either Outlook or Outlook Express or Live Mail.



Press Insert+d to start the JAWS Dictionary.



On the button for Add, press the spacebar.



In the field of the field for "Actual Word" type in the GreaterThan Sign,
the actual simple (the shift of the period).



Tab to the next field "Replacement Word" and insert a space (just hit the
spacebar).



You are ready to tab over to the "okay" button, and press the spacebar.



Now you must save this dictionary entry so press control+s



You are finished and so press alt+F4



(This will only effect the email program. And if some day you wish to remove
this change, this dictionary entry, go back into the JAWS Dictionary and
find the field to locate and remove an entry- easy.
