The JAWS key is the insert key.

Dear Jake, Robin, Gerald and Julie,
Thank you for your suggestions. I'll be trying them as the problem pops up
though I'm not sure I understand my zoom and attributes. And, is the jaws
key the application key, the alt, the insert or the control key?
I did notice Jaws was stumped by very large type. Not wanting to spend
years on a validation, I just deleted and wrote the words, usually chapter
names, in smaller print. Doing that made me feel queasy, but I sometimes
try to find solutions on my own, compromising a little so as not to
bombard this list with hoards of my questions.
Today, jaws is simply skipping lines not even saying blank. As per your
suggestions, I checked word by word and discovered that if the cursor is
on an italicized word, jaws refuses to read that line. Not being sure how
to tell it it's OK to read italics, I found that if I go, word by word to
a word in normal type, and then use the up or down arrow to read the line,
it is read perfectly.
If I get to a line that is all italics, maybe I can get the computer to
read it by getting my cursor on a space and pressing control I to turn off
the italics for that space , thereby not disturbing the text, and then
using the up then down arrow to hear the line.
Do these solution sound correct?
Always with love,
Lissi
