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.
Mike

  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.
