Mike,
Invoke JAWSKey+1, and then press the relevant keys first once, to hear
what is said, and then twice quickly. Note mention that the JAWS cursor
"must be pointing to the object to be dragged". that is not always a
given. You can't just drag and drop items from one folder to another:
they (the folders) have to be visible to each other (as I understand or
misunderstand it). So, if you didn't already, route JAWS to PC, and
then... if you wanna... try again! LOL. I much rather cut-and-paste.
Now, if you would like to add a refinement to the torture, beforehand
turn on "the JAWS cursor will follow the PC cursor" by pressing
ctrl+Insert+NumPadMinus: Pressing those keys a second time will turn
that off, which is the normal or default mode. (Else, leaving that
setting on will drive one abnormal.)

Hi Maria & Tom,
Thank you very much for your replies. I have always used cut / copy &
paste
but, on a whim I thought I would experiment with dragging & dropping
to see
how it works. I thought that maybe I was missing a step but, it
sounds like
I was wasting my time playing around with it. Well, I guess nothing
ventured is nothing gained & I ventured, & gained 0! LOL, hahaha
hahaha
hahaha, LOL
Thanks again, take care.
Mike

Hang on to that bar stool. Dragging and dropping has never worked as
far
as I'm concerned.
Use cut and paste.

Hi All,
I have never tried dragging & dropping with Jaws so, I thought I
would
give
it a try. Well, I have tried & tried & for whatever reason I can't
get it
to work. Here is what I'm doing:
1. Highlighting the file I want to drag in my My Documetnts folder &,
invoking the keystroke control, insert, + numpad slash.
2. Now, I open the destination folder &, invoke the keystroke
control,
insert, + numpad slash to drop the file.
Well, it's not working! Would someone please explain how to drag &
drop
with Jaws, the correct way?! All help will be appreciated immensely!
Thank
you all very much.
Take care.
Mike
