I am typing a paper in MSWord, and wish to know how much of a page, or space left on a page I have. Is there an accessible way to determine this? I'm using Jaws 5.1, a laptop, and word XP. Thanks!
Hi Catie,
If you hit alt-delete (hold alt key down and press delete key) you will determine your cursor position. That tells you how far down the page you are. I believe this command works in all versions of word. For those using prior versions of jaws. alt-delete is a windows command, so it will work no matter what version of jaws is being used.
Oh, the delete key is just to the left of the end key.

Thank you soo much!!! How many inches would one figure are on a page...? Thanks again!
Well, I am not sure how many inches are on a page. however, if your paper is double-spaced (that is how I have to do papers at the college I attend), you just take the total number of inches and divide it in half since there is half the amount of space on the page with double space enabled. At least I think that is what happens with double space. other zoners can correct me if I'm wrong.
just a thought.
