Show the floating On-Screen Keyboard icon next to the text cursor when possible – To open On-Screen Keyboard next to the location where you want to enter text, tap the floating On-Screen Keyboard icon. The icon appears automatically when you rest the mouse pointer or pen near the field that you want to complete, such as the Internet Explorer Address Bar, or when you tap the location on the screen where you want to insert text, for example, in the middle of a paragraph in a Microsoft Office Word 2003 document.
Some applications draw the text cursor in their own way and do not provide information about its position: Firefox, OpenOffice, CorelDRAW etc.
