Hi, Steve. Yes, I do press the add button, followed by OK. As I stated in the previous message, the place marker works for a week or two or three, then quits, forcing me to find the view full article link using control-shift-f, and, reset the place marker. I'm not using FF or IE nine; I'm using IE8. It's my understanding that the minimum requirement for IE 9 is Windows Vista. I'm using XP SP3, etcetera etcetera.
My understanding of the manual's place marker section is that I should be able to set the virtual cursor at the top of the page, define a place marker, and--if I use the position relative to line number and text search radio button--Window-Eyes will begin at that point and search the page from top to bottom. In that way, this particular place marker setting is like control-shift-f with a memory. Am I right? -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Clower [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, May 08, 2012 12:38 PM To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: Problem with place markers. I just tried this in FF 13 and IE 9, and the placemarkers worked as I would expect. Are you ever pressing the Escape key when defining the marker? If so, keep in mind that doing so will undo your work. So once you define the placemarker, activate the Add button, and then click OK. If you then move to the top of the page, for instance, K should take you to the marker. Or if you are below the mark, J will move you up to it.
