Jill,
I can think of two options you have here. The first is that many laptops
have an additional key marked Fn to the left of the Windows key on the
left of the SpaceBar, which can be used with another key to mimic the
number pad. I have a Dell Latitude D420, and on this laptop pressing Fn
+ SemiColon is the same as NumPad minus, and Fn + slash equates to
NumPad plus. Remember you can use Insert + 1 to go into Keyboard help
mode, and then explore the keyboard to find out which keystrokes do what
you need.
A second possibility is to use either the laptop or the classic keyboard
laptop keyboard layouts. You can get to these through the JAWS Options
menu, Basics dialogue. The idea of these layouts is they give additional
keystrokes for things that usually require the number pad. For instance,
with JAWS 6 and the laptop layout, CapsLock + P switches to the JAWS
cursor, and CapsLock + SemiColon gives the PC cursor. With JAWS 6 and
the classic layout it is Alt + P for JAWS cursor and Alt + SemiColon for
the PC cursor.
You may want to play around with these options to find which one suits
you best.

Subject: jaws cursor on laptop
Does anyone know how you use the jaws cursor on a laptop keyboard?
Typically it's numpad plus and minus on a desktop keyboard, but what do
you do if you are using a laptop keyboard?
Thanks!
Jill
