Num pad slash is the key just above the 8 key on the num pad, the insert key is the big one at the bottom left corner of the num pad.

Now where is the numpad slash and the insert key I need to use?

Position the JAWS Cursor on the item you wish to move and press CTRL+INSERT+NUM PAD SLASH. You can leave the JAWS Cursor active, or you CTRL+INSERT+can switch to the PC Cursor. JAWS will keep speaking as you navigate. Once you have positioned the JAWS or PC Cursor in the location to which you would like to move the item, press CTRL+INSERT+NUM PAD SLASH again, and the item will be moved to the position of the active cursor. But if you can use copy and paste, I would use that instead of trying to drag and drop. The problem with drag and drop is both the place you are dragging from and the place you are dragging to, both have to be visible. By visible I don't mean you have to be able to see them, grin, I mean they have to be on the same screen. Maybe I can give an example to explain what I mean. Say I open my computer and the c drive. If I select a folder and press the drag and drop keystroke, then I can arrow down to another folder and repeat the drag and drop keystroke. Jaws will drag it and place it inside of the folder I dragged it to. But say I open that folder and I select a folder. I think backspace to be back at the main level. If I press the drag and drop keystroke again, it will say the object can't be found. Another example. If two listboxes are on the same screen one on the right, one on the left, you should be able to drag and drop from one to another. But if you try to drag and drop something and then go to another window of another application or something like that, jaws won't do it and will say the object can't be found and cancel the drag and drop operation . I hope that makes some sense, any sense at all, ha ha. What program are you trying to drag and drop in? Debbie
