Re: [JAWS-Users] Touch cursors

Hey. Yes, there is. Some of the new Windows app require the use of the touch cursor to read or even activate things on the screen. It's an annoyance but something everyone just has to get used to or live with. You should read about it in your JAWS help files. -Original Message- From:
