Hi,
There is an sort of top / bottom index indication. I was searching for
the same and I found an option.
In the quick settings menu [ins-v] arrow down and press t until you have
the option:
top and bottom edge alert
with space bar you can toggle between sound and silence. Silence is the
default.
In the quick settings menu, you can also fill in the word: top
and press arrow down.
Regards, Marten

Hi Tom,
And so you're saying our beloved Window-Eyes developers took pains to
allow
these unique windows to share their treasures with their devoted users.
(sniff)
We really got burned, didn't we?
Thanks,
Rod

I haven't installed JAWS yet. But I assume the problem is that JAWS does
not possess the elegant code Window-Eyes does to determine the logical
status bar when there is no actual status bar, which is the case on the
desktop and in Thunderbird.
Obviously there's no status bar on the desktop. But in Thunderbird there
is a window that looks and acts like a status bar, but it is not
(technically speaking) a true status bar.
It's a good example of the never-ending uphill battle screen-reader
developers face. Windows has a specific status bar window that can be
created and yet it is not uncommon for developers to just tack on
another standard window that accomplishes the same purpose visually.
Regards,
Tom
