Hi Tom,
I'm sorry, I have completely forgotten which screen reader you're using.

If you are using JAWS, and you have the keyboard option set to "Laptop",
press and hold the caps lock key and press the down arrow. This is the same
as pressing the insert + 2 on the num pad.


Best regards

Subject: another question about laptop keyboard commands

Hi, all.

I have discovered a problem with  using the standard reading keyboard
commands for Windows XP and Jaws when using my laptop computer.  On the
regular PC keyboard, I often use "insert plus the number 2 on the number pad
to read through a document from start to finish.  On the laptop, of course,
the number pad is non-existent, at least when the keys are used in their
standard configuration.

How do you read a document through in either Outlook Express or MS Word from
start to finish without the "insert 2" command?

Forgive me if this is a stupid question;  my brain is pretty much fried due
to a week of final exams and grading, but I am just about done, so there's
hope here.  HI!  HI!

Thanks as always for your help.
