Jerry,
You're not doing anything wrong, there's just something you may not be
aware of. When you press NumPad minus, you switch focus to the JAWS
cursor, which is the mouse pointer. But movement of the JAWS cursor is
by default limited to the window it's in, and it sounds like it's not on
the Properties screen. To get it there, rather than just pressing NumPad
minus, try Insert + NumPad minus. That moves the JAWS cursor to the same
place as the PC cursor, and then you should find you can UpArrow and
DownArrow through the Properties screen.

Subject: JAWS and Properties screens
Hello Everyone!
I am new to this list and hope this isn't a stupid question... I can't
get JAWS to read a Properties screen for me! If I browse to a file by
double clicking the My Computer icon, then right-click on the file, then
click on "Properties", JAWS will not read the entire screen for me. I
have tried TAB (which just goes over the checkable options like
'hidden'), CTR+TAB (with no effect), and even tried the JAWS cursor by
pressing the "-" sign on the num pad. The JAWS cursor will read the
name of the file, but if I move down to try the rest of the screen it
gets stuck on the task bar. All I can do at this point is press the "+"
on the num pad to go back to regular JAWS. I have JAWS v9 and Windows
XP. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks so much for your help!
Jerry White
