Right on, Steve! That's exactly what I was looking for. I tried it and it works. Thank you very much. Tom----- Original Message ----- From: "Griffiths, Steve" <Steve.Griffiths@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Tom, In print layout view you can use Alt + DownArrow or Alt + UpArrow to cycle between the tops of the columns on the current page. These Word keystrokes conflict with the JAWS keystrokes to read sentences, so you'll need to use the bypass key, Insert + 3, before either of them. To confirm which column I'm in, I have to use Insert + F1. This is because the usual methods of finding my place in a document, Insert + PageDown to read the status line or Insert + Delete to give line and column only, both take their information from the status line, and on my PC anyway the status line says "col 1" whichever column I'm in! Maybe your PC will behave better.

I'm talking about Word documents with multiple newspaper-style columns. Say-all's not a problem. Suppose, though, that you want to move directly from one column to the next or go to a specific column on a specific page. I can't find any reference to this in the JAWS help anywhere; the only thing I can find with respect to columns deals with table reading, and that's clearly not what I'm after.
