You use Alt-down-arrow to open a combo box and alt-up-arrow to perhaps close it. You cannot read all of the options in a display. Instead, while not in Browse mode, you press alt-down-arrow, then a series of down-arrows to explore the combo box. If you tab away from that combo box or press Enter on it, you have selected the item. Mostly you can up and down arrow to explore the options. There are pages where tabbing away from the combo box causes the page to refresh with new content reflecting the selection. On other pages, Window-Eyes doesn't correctly read what has been selected in the combo box and yiou must arrow to something, use ctrl-shift-A to re-enter Browse mode and see what you have selected, then either change your selection and recheck or accept the selection by pressing a Submit button.
Anyway, the important thing is alt-down-arrow to open the combo box (while not in Browse mode) and then the arrow keys to make the selection within the combo box.
