Rick
You said with Window-Eyes you use the numpad to control the mouse cursor. Like 
insert with 4, or 6, 8, 2 keys? or just use 4, 6, 8, 2 keys to navigate the 
mouse cursor around the screen? I want to be sure I do it right. I am on 
chapter 3 in WE tutorials. I will learn it eventually.

Thank you.
