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.
