Hi Flor, This discussion has been an ongoing 1 on a couple of different lists' with an answer never found. It almost seems like you need to have a mouse pointer scheme set up but, I don't know how Jaws would react to altering the mouse pointer scheme. I took a look at it but, I just don't have the smarts or the inclination to screw up a good thing! LOL LOL
I rarely need a sighted person to look at something for me but, when that occasion arises I use the Alt + Delete keystroke to tell me what the active cursor & its position is. Sometimes this helps & sometimes it don't but, between whatever sighted help is asissting me & myself we manage to getter done. Take care.

So I addressed the narrower question of cursors. When I tried that a few months ago with my sighted assistant, it really made no difference to her. -----Original Message----- From: Michael B.

This arrow didn't move at all when naviggating up & down the screen / website using the arrow keys. Hopefully you & others will have better results. Take care.

He always says he doesn't see where I am on the page. On 5/10/2015 2:48 PM, Flor Lynch wrote: > I'm a bit late here.
