Hi all,
I am betting that my question has been discussed before, but I cannot find it in the archives.
I am editing a Web document that uses the phrase "très cool." JAWS mispronounces the first word as an English word Just for an experiment, I marked it up as French, and my wife said JAWS was pronouncing it correctly as French, but obviously that is not what I want for American readers. Does anyone have a creative idea of how to help? (The author has warned me that I do not have the option of using the Delete key.)
