I'm with the laptop layout on my desktop keyboard, and everything works ok with the combinations. Try pressing insert+1 from the number row or kaps lock+1 from the number row (for the laptop layout) to turn the keybourd training mode on, then press those combinations and hear how they are working. When you finish, press again insert+1 from the number row to turnd the training mode off. For example kaps lock+right arrow is for the next word. Try and see.

Is that because the caps lock key is the JAWS key on the laptop? alicedh@xxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: Negoslav Sabev To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, March 03, 2009 3:03 AM Subject: Re: read all It's very simple. Place kaps lock instead of insert and it will work for most commands. Be aware that the numbers from the numpad are used by jaws as follows: 1 - end 2 - down arrow 3 - pg down 4 left arrow 6 right arrow 7 home 8 up arrow 9 - pg up You have all this on your laptop keyboard, so you use kaps lock instead of insert, and just add those to it. There is a whole section with keyboard commands in the jaws help.

I know it is insert (or JAWS key) 2 on the num pad, but what is it on the laptop layout? Thanks.
