David, Thanks very much for that. You were absolutely right about this being a MAGic issue rather than a JAWS one. I hadn't even considered the possibility, as my version of MAGic is magnification only.
No worries about the spellchecker mistake. I could not even mention my worst instance of pressing alt + C instead of Alt + I when presented with an irrelevant alternative to what I had originally typed. Were I to do so, Mr. Ferrin would surely strike me from this list!

I was even more stupid for letting it do it. -----Original Message----- From: David Griffith [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, 13 February 2010 12:37 To: '[email protected]' Subject: RE: [JAWS-Users] JAWS and Mouse I am fairly certain that the feature you are experiencing is a Magic setting rather than a Jaws setting. I remember this feature in Magic when I used to use it. The only way to get Jaws to read what is under the cursor is to switch from the PC cursor to the Jaws cursor using the nomad minus key. Even then Jaws will only respond when you use the cursor keys to navigate the mouse cursor across the screen. It does not respond at all if the physical mouse is moved. I no longer use Magic and use only Jaws. I have quickly checked using the Jaws Say all command in a variety of applications including this email and waving the mouse cursor across the screen has no effect at all on Jaws reading. I cannot remember what the setting in Magic was but I believe it was something like Mouse Echo. There will be a key combination to turn this on and off.

The version I am currently running is 9.0.9121. Whenever I move the mouse (even during a say all) JAWS stops the say all and reads the line upon which the mouse has come to rest. This sounds like some sort of mouse echo function. As I use JAWS with MAGic, I often use the mouse to move around the magnified screen. This is rather annoying when I am running a say all on a page of text. There are occasions when this function might be quite useful, but I would like to know if it can be toggled on and off. I would be grateful if there is anyone who has had this problem and can help me out.
