Geoff,

From the JAWS help file:
If you do not wish to hear the "fieldset" legend information, disable it in Configuration Manager, Verbosity Options. Select the button for the verbosity level you are using. In the Speech Output Types list, move to the Control Group Name check box and press SPACEBAR to clear the check mark. Select Ok to accept your changes, select Ok again, then save the open configuration file to save your settings. For more information, refer to Verbosity Options.

Thanks,
AWK
