These instructions also work for older versions of MS Word. In my 2010, the application key does work. But to respond to Adrian's first suggestion, here's something for all Window-Eyes users who migrated to JAWS who were used to the window's status being spoken in the title bar. Windows key up-arrow will maximize the window, as well as the older way of alt-spacebar, followed by x, but if you want to quickly check the status of the window, as we could have in Window-Eyes, JAWS gives that information in the JAWS Task List. Start JAWS Task List. JAWS Key + F10
Opens the Window List dialog where you can view and switch between running applications. It also, conveniently, smile, tells you the status of the window, if the keyboard operator can remember to check there. LOL.

The first thing I'd suggest is that you confirm your MS Word window is maximized by pressing alt-space, then x. that may give you the information you want in that status bar. If not, here are instructions I copied from a lister on another list. I've just confirmed that they work in Word 2016, which I now use. Joseph the Free Tech guy. To show number of lines, line number, or many other options in the status bar in Word: 1. Press F6 until Status bar is highlighted. Or, until you hear Jaws report, Status Toolbar. It should be the 2nd press of the F6 key. 2. Press Shift + F10 to show options. This keystroke must be used because a right mouse click or the application key will not. 3. Down arrow through the available options, and when you have found line count or something else of interest press the spacebar to check or uncheck the item. 4. when done making modifications simply press AltF4 or escape key. 5. Review your status line to insure the settings have been properly modified. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Lawrence Sent: Thursday, March 15, 2018 12:53 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [JAWS-Users] Using Microsoft Word 2016 and needing combonation keys Greeting Jaws Users In some of the older versions of Microsoft Word such as 2003 to acquire page number and line number one would press the comination keys (down page key and jaws key) I've recently acquired Microsoft 2016 and need this information.
