Hi all,
With the mouse echo feature, it is best if you go to the ease of access
settings group in the settings app and go to mouse. In the mouse settings
there, you can check two check boxes. The first, is to use the numb pad to
move the mouse pointer. The other important setting you want to check, is
the one that says to move the mouse pointer when the numb lock is turned on.
That way, you can still turn the numb pad lock off and use it with JAWS
commands like always. Just turn the numb lock on, to move the mouse up,
down, right and left with the arrow keys on the numb pad. If you hold down
one of the numb pad arrow keys, JAWS will speak what the mouse pointer goes
over. The mouse pad is not working that well for me either. To be able to
have the mouse pointer move and speak what is under it, will be very huge
once the kinks are out of it. That will really help, though, if you turn the
numb lock on, and move the mouse that way after making the changes in the
mouse settings in the ease of access settings.
Take care, all, and I really like version 18 already, and this is just beta
one.
