Hi,
There is no problem with turning on the caret in IE or any other browser. Have 
a great one.

I vaguely recall hearing about some harmful consequence from turning “caret 
browsing” on in IE, but nothing I find online confirms my dim memory. Wiki says 
both IE and Firefox allow for caret browsing, but Chrome does not. Here’s 
another article that seems to suggest caret browsing could help people working 
together with the screen and a screenreader. Note the spelling, which some 
listers didn’t get right: c a r e t:

Hi, Brian. You won't find the word Caret anywhere in the JAWS materials, 
because JAWS has no setting for caret browsing. This is only a setting found 
within the advanced settings of Internet Explorer. It won't help anyone with 
JAWS, unless they are using Internet Explorer as their current application.

  Um, probably, but what does it do?

  I've always been unclear on this account, too.

  I just finished searching the JAWS 15, 16, & 17 Keystroke documents as well 
as the more comprehensive one someone gave the link to in another thread.  None 
have the word "caret" anywhere to be found.

  The only place I've found anything on caret browsing in the JAWS materials I 
have that are electronically searchable, and that's lots from FS download, is 
in one of the files Mike B provided.   There's even mention of it in the FS 
documentation for MAGic.
