[gui-talk] turn of smart tags.

[Ed Lain]

It worked, but I can't figure out why keys are mushy and response between
key strokes is slow. I strike a key and it takes a second or more before I
hear the key announced. Any suggestions?

Ed,

The easiest way to do this is to open up Word first.  Window-Eyes will bring
you more quickly to the settings for Word if it is open.  

1. press INSERT together with "V" to bring up the verbosity menu.  You
should hear somethinglike "Settings, Word Closed".  

2.  Press the right arrow to expand or open the Word settings unless it is
already expanded.

3.  Press DOWN ARROW until you hear Miscelaneous.  

4.  Once there, tab until you get to the "Speak Smart Tags" check box and
uncheck it by pressing the SPACE bar.    

5.  Continue tabbing until you get to the "Save settings" button.  Press
SPACE to save your change and press ESCAPE to get back to where you were.

If you do not have Word open when you press INSERT-V, you will need to
navigate the tree until you find Office and then word.  This is a tree view
in receng versions so you simply expand them with the RIGHT ARROW key.
These settings are in the older versions of Window-Eyes as well but they are
arranged differently.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
