Re: [Emacspeak] Problem when editing a document with emacspeak

[John Covici <covici@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Did you ever look in the emacspeak customize group?  There is a
variable in there to control that announcement.  Also, you could use
fill-region to limit your line length to a more normal value.

I have a HTML copy of the bible with each book in its own seperate file. I am opening up each book and copying the text to a txt file. THis way I can go in and edit the file so each verse is on its own line. I can then put it on my orbit reader 40 to read it easily in brail. I am also using the mac port version of emacs if that will make a difference.

Do you want emacspeak to read it? What else might I try to stop this? I edited the file in a normal editor and not from within emacs.
