Lee,

Without seeing the application it's difficult to say precisely.  JAWS has
many commands to emulate mouse movement, so theoretically it should be at
least worth taking a crack at.

JAWS also has functions to acquire window text, some of them may announce
the whole thing, rather than what's just visible.

As Rui points out, cursor shape might be another avenue of approach.

Subject: [jawsscripts] Is this possible without a mouse?

Hi all,
Just wondering if it is possible without using the mouse to expand window
views. Bit difficult to explain. However, I have an application where the
default only shows the start of a word in a line. With the mouse it is
possible to drag the window wider do show the whole word. Example I see
n..... when you drag it wider a word like nearly would appear. Does that
make sense?
