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: https://www.microsoft.com/enable/products/ie11/ From: Bill White [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, February 01, 2016 6:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: How Can Sighted People Tell Where I Am At on a Screen in JAWS? 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.

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.
