Not reading the text on screen.



I have a situation where I do not want VoiceOver to read the text on the screen but rather to read the AXdiscription field instead. What I have is a window with a series of text fields each with labels to the right of them. One of these labels is "ISBN" which VoiceOver will attempt to read as a single word. In the AXdiscription field I have the following string: [[char LTRL]]ISBN[[char NORM]] number

My problem is that VoiceOver now reads ISBN as a world followed by I- S-B-N number. So my question is how do I keep VoiceOver from first trying to read ISBN as a word but then go on to read the AXdiscription?

Thanks for any help with this.
