Hi everyone.
Can anyone help with an NVDA and punctuation problem? I've followed the
instructions in the user guide to get NVDA to pronounce punctuation marks such
as a full stop as a dot and an exclamation mark as an exclamation mark not as
it currently ddoes a "bang" An apostrophe as apostrophe and not "tick".
I'm not sure what I've done, but in word documents, any time I use the full
stop, comma, quotes, etc, NVDA speaks them as other punctuation marks that I've
never heard of before. As I write this message, I notice that they have
reverted to the correct pronunciations now that I'm using outlook. Could this
just be a ms word thing? Or Have I got a bigger problem to solve?
Any thoughts?
Damien.

Hi Damien,
I take it you don't have one of those fancy multimedia keyboards with the Mute
button on the top left! :) Okay, so here's what you do...
* Open Notepad and paste the following line of code into it:
CreateObject("WScript.Shell").SendKeys chr(173)
* Save the file as: mute.vbs
* Create a desktop shortcut to mute.vbs
* Rename the shortcut to something helpful like:
Mute / Unmute System Volume
* Right-click on the desktop shortcut and select Properties.
* Pick a shortcut key. Must be a letter. Use M if it's available.
Your shortcut key will be Ctrl+Alt+M. Windows will add the Ctrl and Alt for
you.
* Select Minimized from the Run combo box.
* Click on OK and you're done!
Assuming everything went according to plan, whenever you press
Ctrl+Alt+M, your computer will fall silent. Press Ctrl+Alt+M again,
and sound will be restored.
