Re: [JAWS-Users] Keyboard Descriptions, was: Putting Programs on Desktop
Is it actually a laptop. If so, there should be a key on the left next to the control key which is the function key. The home key would be function and left arrow pressed in unison. Hope that helps.

Use Insert 1 (that is the number 1 on the number row) to turn on keyboard help. Now you can press keys and hear what they are. When you press the application key, JAWS will announce application. When you press the Windows key, JAWS will not say anything. However, when you find a key that does not say anything, just combine it with another key like the letter M. In this case you would hear JAWS say Windows M. To get out of Keyboard help, just repeat the Insert+1 command.

Hi Patricia, The keyboard you described sounds a lot like mine.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Keyboard Descriptions, was: Putting Programs on Desktop
Another key it might be is a function only speciffic to the sighted world. When my battery took a dive, we had to reset the sytem and the tech told me to hit that key and I needed my brother to read the screen after I did so. I have a del as well so maybe that might help. my applications was tricky but it's to the right of my power button just before the print screen scrolllock and things like that. Hope I helped somewhat but they're right, thy that help ke as well. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Saturday, August 25, 2007 10:13 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Keyboard Descriptions,was: Putting Programs on Desktop Hi Patricia, The keyboard you described sounds a lot like mine.
