Bill, If turning this on does not have some really ugly effect on JAWS efficiency then every sighted JAWS tutor or assistant will bless the fact that you've revealed its existence. Even if it does, there are those occasions where turning it on will alleviate a lot of frustration for the sighted who are being asked to assist at that moment, then you can turn it off after. I only recently wrapped my head around the virtual cursor (thank you Mr. Martin), which comes hugely into play for both web pages and PDF files, and my clients cannot understand how I'm becoming confused until I tell them that JAWS is not "following" visibly what it's processing at the moment in speech. It really is profoundly disorienting when you're trying to follow along and suddenly there's nothing visible to follow along with. Brian
