David: I would be interested to learn if you ever come up with a solution. I have a similar application, and I eventually dispaired of ever getting Window-Eyes to read a part of the cursor line. Actually, in my case, and likely yours too, it isn't as much a line as it is the highlighted focus, which is probably reading entries across several columns. So, it acts sort of like a list view. In my case, the first column was a lengthy document number. I wanted to read the second column and beyond, but not the number, which really slowed navigating the list. I tried setting user windows, setting hyper-active windows, windows that trigger windows, float windows, and even the record macro script. I finally solved the problem in JAWS with a script that turned off speech, routed the mouse to the cursor, jumped a clip to the right, turned on speech, and then read to the right of the mouse. I am not competent enough to write Window-Eyes scripts, so I had a brilliant participant on this ist basicly write the above into a custom Window-Eyes script. Now I have no problems. The script works like a charm. I'm guessing that your application is like mine and just strange enough that neither the standard reading tools in JAWS or Window-Eyes quite get you what you need. Scripts are marvelous things. I think script writing in Window-Eyes just got easier with 7.1, but I haven't tried it yet.
