Hi Tom. Are you talking about browsing web pages, or using applications in
general?
I've only found this to be a significant problem when in Internet Explorer.
To enable a sighted person to have any idea of where you're browsing with
JAWS, it's essential to have "screen track virtual cursor" enabled, which is
the default anyway. Having said that, all it does is to ensure that the part
of the page you're browsing is on the screen. It doesn't actually indicate
where you are. However, there is a feature called "move application focus to
the location of the virtual PC cursor", which is accessed by pressing
Ctrl+JAWS+delete, which I've found quite good. (When I say Delete, I'm
talking about the one on the numeric keypad).
I think you need to be on a link or form field in order for this to work,
ie, not on non-link text. This keystroke may be more reliable if you have
the window maximised. You can also try routing the JAWS cursor (ie mouse) to
the virtual PC cursor.
Cheers.
John

Hi folks,
I'm quite happy with how I use jaws, but, my wife is having problems because
I'm using the keyboard and I don't seem to be able to get her to see where
the system focus is. So,, I'm changing window focus, but, nearly like
manuel, shesees nothing.
How can I get jaws to show her where I am.
Thanks,
Tom
