I'm afraid it still doesn't sound like any sort of situation I generally encounter, but maybe without knowing the proper terminology-- template, etc.-- I run into something like this from time to time and just ignore it, sort of, because the access my Jaws skils afford me generally are sufficient to get me what I want.

I want the answer too. I know that you can press insert 7 on the keypad and read the current line from the left edge to the cursor which helps. However, I have had many occasions when I really don't want the PC cursor to move but I want info around it. Short of going into review mood and using the Jaws cursor I have not found a way but then I really have not looked.

Can anyone explain what the purpose of this idea is? I wouldn't ordinarily care or think about something like this in relation to anything I do every day on the computer. In what sort of situation would this trick be necessary? I'm really mystified by this apparent power-user thing.

My wife is taking a jaws test for a job. There are 2 questions that I can not find the answers to. They both ask the key strokes to read the prior line or next line without moving the pc cursor. I know of no key stroke to do this without resorting to using the jaws cursor. Is there such a keystroke?
