You might have to press the right arrow a couple of times to make sure you are on the link.

When I hear JAWS announce that I am on a link, I press the Enter key. In more and more situations, nothing happens. I have tried using the applications key and have found that Open is not a choice on the menu until I have attempted at least once to use the Enter key to activate the link without success. So the sequence looks like this: . Navigate to the desired link . Activate the application menu and find that open is not on the menu. . Press Escape to close the applications menu. . Ensure that I am really on the link. . Press the Enter key to try and activate the link. . If nothing happens, activate the applications key. . Select Open, Open in new tab or Open in new window, and then press the Enter key. . The link is now activated and the new page is opened. I am using I.E. 8, Office 2010, and JAWS 12 on a Windows7 64bit computer. I've even tried JAWS 11. I have not gotten around to trying JAWS 13. Does anyone have any ideas to why this is happening? Is it a JAWS issue, an I.E. issue or a Security setting? Is there a way to change it?
