Hi,

I like your first idea.  (grin) I do the tether thing anyway to get to areas 
the virtual cursor sometimes can't get to.  Depending on the screen, the Jaws 
to PC doesn't always read everything either when arrowing through.  Are there 
helps for that, too?

Thanks.

Judy

  Judy,

  I think you should get your sighted friend and family to learn JAWS.  Just 
kidding. One idea is to turn on the Teather JAWS to PC feature. This will work 
when you are filling in form fields as the mouse pointer will move to where you 
are typing. It will not follow the virtual PC Cursor, but it is a start toward 
a solution.  I think the keystroke is: CTRL+JAWSCursor+NumPad Minus.

  I'm looking forward to hearing other ideas on this.

      Judy,

      Are you specifically referring to when you are browsing the web or 
reading an e-mail that is in HTML format?

        Hello,

        I've had a scenario come up on which I need advice.

        If a sighted colleague wants to see where you're navigating on screen 
with Jaws, is there a way to help him do that.  In various situations, either 
at home or at work, when a colleague or family member wants to follow what I'm 
doing, the cursor they see on screen isn't following my keystrokes.  Also, if 
they try to use the mouse with Jaws turned on, the cursor they see doesn't 
track well.  Is there a fix to this?

        Thanks.

        Judy
