Yes, you are right. Jaws just started this recently and I have looked all over and I can't find how to turn this off. I have another computer and it is not doing it.

Re: [Blind-Computing] jaws/pc cursers
Thank you very much for these instructions. I am grateful. It's a funny thing, what stumps some people. I've been using JAWS almost exclusively for almost 20 years, and this was always something that eluded me. I, of course, just found ways around it. Again, thank you very much. Kind regards, Melissa Melissa Riley jamand...@izoom.net riley...@umn.edu -Original Message- From: Blind-Computing [mailto:blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Mike B. Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2013 12:30 PM To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] jaws/pc cursers Hi Melissa Tom, Below are explanations of the PC Jaws cursors below that explanations of all 4 Jaws cursors. The keystrokes for routing PC Jaws cursors are: Insert + PC cursor key, = Moves / routes the PC cursor to the Jaws cursor. The PC cursor is the equivalent of the insertion point, or the carat. Whenever the focus changes, for example when you enter a menu bar with the alt key, the PC cursor moves to that location. The JAWS cursor, on the other hand, imitates and actually causes, the mouse pointer to move everytime you arrow with the JAWS cursor. It also offers commands to simulate a left and right click, which can also be used for double clicking. You can also use commands to drag and drop by locking a mouse button down, moving to another part of the window, then unllocking it. Hope this helps. About JAWS Cursors Navigating through Windows with JAWS is accomplished with cursors. These cursors determine the focus of JAWS speech and are often directly linked with Windows cursors. The PC Cursor - Follows Keystrokes This cursor is linked to the keyboard functions of Windows and applications. This is the cursor that is used when typing information, moving through options in dialog boxes, and selecting options or icons. As you type information, the PC Cursor follows along with each key you press. If you are making a selection in a menu or dialog box, the PC Cursor highlights the currently selected object. The PC Cursor is activated by default when JAWS starts. If you are using a different cursor, pressing NUM PAD PLUS returns you to the PC Cursor. The JAWS Cursor - Follows Mouse Pointer The JAWS Cursor is linked to mouse pointer functions in Windows and other applications. It is used to read information the PC Cursor cannot read, such as toolbar information. The mouse follows along with the JAWS Cursor when it is moved, and you therefore have access to information in an application window that is beyond the scope of the PC Cursor. To activate the JAWS Cursor, press NUM PAD MINUS. The Virtual PC Cursor - HTML Environment The virtual PC Cursor mimics the functions of the PC Cursor, but is activated by default when entering an HTML document. The virtual PC Cursor speaks the number of frames in a document, and the number of links in the frame. You can switch between frames, and JAWS reads graphics labeled by alt tags in the HTML code. Invisible Cursor The JAWS cursor is basically the mouse cursor that is visible on screen. The invisible cursor can be moved around just like the JAWS cursor to view information. It works like the mouse cursor but can not be seen on screen or effect objects. Therefore you can not use the NumPad / (left mouse click) or NumPad * (right mouse click) on an object. It is useful to read information without disturbing the mouse cursor. It is also useful to determine colors or whatever might change when the mouse is over an object. It will not cause ToolTips to pop up. Insert + Jaws cursor key, = Moves / routes the Jaws cursor to the PC cursor. Take care.

Re: [Blind-Computing] column width in Excel 2007
When you are in the column and cell with the longest entry you want to adjust hit alt+h and then O and down arrow to autofit column width and hit enter. That should do it.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Outlook Express Not The Default V-Card Viewer
Hi Mujtaba, Thank you very much for your reply information. I did select the yes option but, for whatever reason I thought this V-Card option had something to do with business cards I don't have that activated on that computer was wondering why I was getting that dialogue. Thanks again. Take care.

The contacts in your outlook express are all I think vcf file format. When you attempt to open a file with that extension windows searches for an associated program for that file.
