Dear Friends,
Thanks to one and all for your clear and precise explanations for that silly question of mine, but now I have learned!

I understand why it it is called a JAWS Key instead of Insert, to cover both Lap Tops and standard computers.

Thanks again.

With Best Regards
Alan

Alan
As Judith says it's the Insert key when in DeskTop  mode but it is
something different when in Laptop mode and is therefor referred to as
the JawsKey to cover both formats.

Cheers
Chris

Hello Friends,
I have been using JAWS for a very long time.

Anyway, can some one please tell me what the:

JAWS Key

is....
I am serious, I do not know, and I have seen reference to it in the
messages
once in a while.

Sorry if I seem nuts, but I assure you, I have been using JAWS
successfully
for many years holding down employment and supporting myself and my
wife!
I just do not know what the JAWS key is!!

Best Regards,
Alan Dicey

CTRL+JAWS Key+Down arrow should start the skim reading tool no matter
what
application.
I think just tapping the ctrl key will stop it.

It has been a while since i used this feature so I am going by memory.
