The jaws key is the key that is used in conjunction with other keys to perform jaws functions for instance, if you are using a desktop keyboard, it will default to the insuert key on the numpad which is the largest key on the numeric keypad. Some times, it is specifically set up for this key although there is another insert key on your keyboard. If you are using a laptop, it may be the caps lock key instead of the insert key on the numeric keypad or its twin on the six pack. If you turn on jaws keyboard help with jawskey+1 on the numbers row, you can figure out which key functions as the jaws key. if insert+1 does not work, try capslock+1. On some laptops, you can set another laptop mode which will cause the jaws key to be the right shift key I think. There are still other keyboards that allow you to have a different jaws keya nd that is why it is called the jaws key. We used to see it refered to in instructional materials as the insert key but that was changed due to its alternate placement on different keyboards. Now, having said all this, if you don't like the jaws key you have, it is possible to change it in keyboard manager. -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
