Hi Ed, The virtual cursor is on by default unless you turn it off with the Insert / Jaws key + Z, keystroke in any application. Take care. Mike Sent from my iBarstool.

So do you have to hit any key to get the virtual cursor on. I know there is a jaws cursor and a pc cursor. So what do you have it on to make the virtual cursor work? Maybe I am missing something here. Ed -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Mike B.

Here's the steps: Here you go: 1. Press the, Jaws key + 6, on the number row above the main keyboard to open the Jaws Settings Center & then press, Control, Shift, + D, to open Jaws Settings Center default all applications. 2. Arrow down to, Web / HTML / PDFs, & press the right arrow to open. 3. Arrow down to, Navigation, & press right arrow to open. 4. Arrow down to, Screen Tracks Virtual Cursor, & if this is unchecked press the spacebar to check it. If it's already checked press the, Escape button, a couple of times to close the Settings Center. 5. If you had to check the, Screen Tracks Virtual Cursor, option tab to apply, press the spacebar, tab to okay, press the spacebar to save your change & close the Settings Center. HTH Take care.

Is there a way for a sighted person to see on screen what I am doing with JAWS? The only time this is important is when I cannot accomplish something with JAWS and require a pair of eyes. I will use JAWS to go to where I need help and my wife has no idea of what I'm doing or where I am with JAWS when looking at the screen. Is there any way around this? It makes getting sighted assistance very difficult.
