Tom, Try just typing the letter N. Then route JAWS to pc and verify that it's really ctrl+alt+n. Then while you're still in JAWS mode, just arrow to the ok key and click.

Now, I have another issue to solve: Since I can now use notepad, I want to make a shortcut for it. However, whenever I go to my start menu, find notepad, hit my applications key, go to properties, and try to enter alt control n as my shortcut, Jaws doesn't let me do it. It says alt control +, and won't let me put the N in there to complete the key combination. I know there are no other alt control N shortcuts on this computer, so I'm baffled as to why Jaws won't let me do the shortcut. I have had this problem with other applications, and sometimes need sighted assistance to correct the problem. Any suggestions about how to resolve this issue would be appreciated, and then, I should be all set for a while. Just for info, I'm using Windows XP here with Jaws 10.0. Thanks!

This might be as simple as not having word wrap turned on in Notepad. In notepad, press alt+o to get into the format menu, and the first thing you should hear is "word wrap". If Jaws doesn't say "checked", hit enter to check it and turn word wrap on.
