[gui-talk] Getting Position on Page in JAWS

[Wayne Merritt]

Steve,
You can also use Insert with Delete to get the line/column number of
the cursor position, and Insert with Page Down to get how many
words/pages are in the document. I believe Insert Page Down reads the
information on the status bar.

Hth,
Wayne
