Hi Catherine,
I'm glad you now have it working.
Incidentally, for anyone who wonders about these things ... We often use the
term "JawsKey" which covers whichever key you have to use i.e. insert for
standard keyboards and caps lock for laptops.
Regards,
Phil Medway

Hi,
It was my mistake - I thought it would work if I just pressed, but didn't
hold, caps lock. So it is working.
