Now here is a good email to keep and remember the content, maybe?
When I press insert plus control plus numpad minus, what happens is that
for a moment hubby can tell where I am. Something about changing colors
or brightness or something like that. Who knows, but it might be worth
trying, if one could only remember it when needed?

The problem screen readers have leaving this setting on is that it can
and will inadvertently trigger tool tips and other actions.

Sadly, I have that feature set to on, and yet hubby doesn't know where
I am on web pages.

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.
