It can be done. Realistically though that is what the insert f4 command is for. Also Jaws reads internet pages sideways as it were left to right. I do know it can be changed to be more like up and down but it has been a long time since I knew how to or bothered to.

Most users primarily use the mouse, and causes all sorts of difficulties as JAWS constantly takes control of the focus. Browsing the web is probably the worst. My now grown children have never been able to use my computer with JAWS running. Furthermore, I can not even install JAWS on their computers because some of their games do not work with the JAWS display drivers installed. *Don Marang* Vinux Software Development Coordinator - vinuxproject.org <http://www.vinuxproject.org/> There is just so much stuff in the world that, to me, is devoid of any real substance, value, and content that I just try to make sure that I am working on things that matter. -- Dean Kamen On 7/7/2011 1:29 PM, Jacob Kruger wrote: > I pretty much only turn off jaws etc. if the person wants to use > internet explorer etc. since it will interfere with keystrokes, etc., > but aside from that, if they want to use my computer, bummer if they > don't want to hear it jabbering away...<smile> > > Stay well > > Jacob Kruger > Blind Biker > Skype: BlindZA > '...fate had broken his body, but not his spirit...' > > ----- Original Message ----- From: "ROSEMARIE CHAVARRIA" > <knitqueen2...@verizon.net> > To: <blind-computing@jaws-users.com> > Sent: Thursday, July 07, 2011 6:27 PM > Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] startup menue in W7 > > >> Hi, Jacob, >> >> The only sighted nephew who doesn't turn off my screen reader is >> Lucas.
