On the laptop, the caps-lock is the  Jaws or insert key.  Cap-lock P.

  Hi  I still think you need to use the insert key:

  Ctrl-insert-jaws key (numpad-).

  Someone may have a better idea of the lap top key combo.

  Hi ctrl-insert-jaws cursor will tether jaws to pc curser, and insert-r will 
cycle to jaws curser to an unrestricted window.

  Didn't know that. I normally use route jaws to pc cursor, but that's only to 
get to certain parts of the screen jaws can't or won't read.

  Judy,

  I think you should get your sighted friend and family to learn JAWS.  Just 
kidding. One idea is to turn on the Teather JAWS to PC feature. This will work 
when you are filling in form fields as the mouse pointer will move to where you 
are typing. It will not follow the virtual PC Cursor, but it is a start toward 
a solution.  I think the keystroke is: CTRL+JAWSCursor+NumPad Minus.

  I'm looking forward to hearing other ideas on this.

    Judy,

    Are you specifically referring to when you are browsing the web or reading 
an e-mail that is in HTML format?

    Hello,

     

    I've had a scenario come up on which I need advice.

     

    If a sighted colleague wants to see where you're navigating on screen with 
Jaws, is there a way to help him do that.  In various situations, either at 
home or at work, when a colleague or family member wants to follow what I'm 
doing, the cursor they see on screen isn't following my keystrokes.  Also, if 
they try to use the mouse with Jaws turned on, the cursor they see doesn't 
track well.  Is there a fix to this?

     

    Thanks.

     

    Judy
