Alice,

Although I don't use the laptop keyboard layout myself, I understand that you 
need to press the caps lock key twice quickly for it to function as a JAWS key.

I'm sure another lister will chime in with something more specific based on 
actual experience.

  Hi, Negeslev,     I just tried all those things you listed with the caps lock 
key on the laptop, and they are not assigned the functions you describe. Is 
that because the caps lock key is the JAWS key on the laptop?

    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.

    Negoslav

      On a related note to the skim reading mode, how does one start JAWS 
reading the whole document/page  without having to hit down arrow for every 
line? I know it is insert (or JAWS key) 2 on the num pad, but what is it on the 
laptop layout? 
      Thanks.
