Hi Cy;
I don't use a laptop but, when I use my wife's I do plug a USB keyboard into
it. I just don't have the need for a laptop. I've thought about about
getting a laptop but, that thought was short lived! LOL LOL Take care.
Mike

Mike,
Solve the problem the easy way.
Either get a laptop with a full keyboard or hook up an USB wireless or
direct connect keyboard and avoid the brain damage of learning the laptop
keystrokes.
You wold probably like the wireless keyboard anyway as you can get in your
recliner and type away.

Hi Alice;
I'm sorry. Hopefully someone will jump in and bail me out because I've
never used a laptop & don't know any laptop keystrokes. Take care.

Hi Bill;
The keystroke to tether the Jaws cursor to the Pc cursor is,
Control, Jaws /
Insert key, + Jaws cursor / Minus key on the num pad. Hope this
helps.
Take care.

Hi, John. I don't believe that Cy was asking how to route the
JAWS cursor
to the PC Cursor. What Cy was asking is for the keystroke that
will always
tie the Mouse Cursor to the PC cursor. I don't know what that
keystroke is,
but I know it exists. What this does is allow sighted users to
follow the
cursor that the blind person is using with JAWS. Often, the
sighted person
has no idea where the blind person's cursor is focused when using
JAWS.
Thank you.

To map the mouse to the cursor on a desktop config, press
insert plus
minus key, to map the mouse to pc, insert plus plus symbol. On
laptops
config, capslock + left bracket to map the mouse to pc. To map pc
to mouse,
press caps lock + apostrophy.

Okay, I have forgotten how to get JAWS to track to the
mouse or vice
versa.
When my wife is reading the screen and she wants to know
where on
Earth I am reading from it would be nice to track the mouse to
the cursor.
JAWS 11, W7 64 bit, MS Outlook 2007.
