[Blindtlk] A Formatting Question

[David Andrews]

As you probably know, you can increase or decrease JAWS's verbosity 
on a variety of elements.  When in a document, hit insert-v and 
review the list.  There are also a variety of adjustments available 
via their sound schemes settings, etc.  You may need an advanced JAWS 
user to help you -- and without knowing about the particular kinds of 
problems you are having, more specific advice is difficult.
