[gui-talk] a question about Word

[qubit]

Hi Wayne --
Yes, I think that is what I was looking for -- I thought it was insert but 
apparently remembered wrong -- or did I? jawsKey+delete has an analogous 
meaning. Also, neither command tells me the value in inches -- and when I 
use alt+delete, I get what sounds like pixel position sometimes and 
character position at other times.
I'll have to look at the docs to see what is going on. Thanx

You can also use alt delete to receive information regarding spacing
in your document and how far you are away from the left and top
margins, reported in inches.
