Hi Nancy,
Instead of trying to read from the top down use the mouse route to focus
key, Numpad-Insert-Plus. Then move from there. Sometimes moving by clip
works better than by line. But moving by word and character usually work
fine.
Hth,
Tom

Hi List,
This may be a really dumb question but I'm going to ask it anyway because I'd
sure like to find out if there's anything I can do about it.
I'm using IE 11 with WE 9.2 on a Windows 7 system. The only thing I ever get
when I use the numpad keys (which I believe are considered the mouse keys), is
a list of what's on the menu bars -- things like back, forward, file,
favorites, tools etc. Sometimes way at the bottom of all that is some of the
actual web page I'm on. I've changed the mouse boundaries to every different
setting and it makes no difference. Is there something I'm missing? BTW: This
is not new. It's been the same through IE 10 and I think 9 and previous
versions of WE. I just lived with it figuring there was nothing I could do.
Today I tried the demo version of JAWS 16 to see what it would do and the
numpad keys read the contents of the page without any of the menu/tool bar
stuff. Any thoughts on what I can or need to do to make WE read the page
contents like JAWS does?

I also have this problem. I will try control, shift B and see what happens.

Thanks for this tip, I've been complaining about this for a while and no one
had told me this before.

Robin,
My first recommendation would be to try different Window-Eyes mouse
boundaries to see if that helps. Maybe you accidentally changed the
Window-Eyes mouse boundary to a setting that you normally don't use. The
hotkey to cycle among the options is Control-Shift-B.
Kind Regards,
Marc

Subject: Mouse keys are not working as they used to
Hi - My mouse keys aren't working as they used to and I'm not sure what I
may have done or what changed. I'm on Windows 7 64 bit and WE 9.1. I think
this started a couple days ago, but I can't be sure. Here are some
examples.
1. If I'm in a Windows Explorer view, hitting numpad 7 used to take me
to the very top of the window on the title bar. Now hitting numpad 7 says
top left, but it takes me to the beginning of the first file or folder name
in the view. Numpad 1 takes me to the last folder or file.
2. In my Outlook 2010 inbox, I'm taken to the top of my inbox with the
point sitting on one of the icons just left of "From" on the column headers.
Numpad 1 takes me to the last message in my inbox.
3. I use Cisco Jabber for instant messaging and have to use mouse
pointer to read much of it. Numpad 7 used to take me to the top of the
window where I could use numpad 2 to go down the window and see who was
messaging me and the status. I can't get this to work at all. I cannot
figure out where the pointer goes when I hit numpad 7 and it just dings if I
try to use mouse navigation afterward. This is the most problematic impact
right now.
4. On the Desktop, numpad 7 does take me to the top left corner. From
here, I get dings unless I have it set to line and then numpad 2 will read
each line of icons. I don't normally use mouse keys on the desktop screen,
so maybe this is normal function.
5. In Word 2010, numpad 7 takes me to an area off the document, at the
far left just below all the tool bars.
Any idea how to troubleshoot this? It's impacting my ability here at work.
I already tried restarting WE to see if it was a fluke.
