I have been wondering about this ever since Jim brought it up the first
time. I have only just tested it, but so far it works for me. If you
are using the SayAll to test this, make sure that you are using the
synthesizer that was active when you adjusted the settings. Apparently
these adjustments effect only the synthesizer that was active at the
time that the settings were changed.
I will include the help text taken from the config manager punctuation
settings dialogue.
Select the punctuation symbol to modify from this list. To change how
JAWS speaks the
symbol, press F2. To change the level at which JAWS speaks
the symbol, press SPACEBAR. The symbol is always announced
at and above the specified punctuation level. For example,
setting a symbol to none means that JAWS always speaks it.
In addition, if you want a symbol to not be spoken, you must first
set the default punctuation to Most or lower and then, set the level
for the character to be silenced to All. These changes only
affect the active synthesizer.

I believe I can. I tried to tell JAWS not to speak the greater than (>)
symbol by using this feature, but it didn't honour the setting. I even
tried changing the punctuation level, but it again didn't honour the
setting. The only workaround was to make an entry in the dictionary
manager, replacing the greater than (>) with a space. This is with JAWS
8 build 423.

Subject: [jawsscripts] Customize Punctuation problem.
Hi Folks:
I am finding that, in the latest build of JAWS 8, the "customize
punctuation" options are not working.
Can anyone verify whether or not this is indeed the case?
Thanks all over the place gang.
