Judy, here are notes I made to myself the first time I tried out Chrome. If 
they're unclear, let me know and I'll try to clarify. Note that Chrome calls 
"bookmarks" what IE calls "favorites."

Arrow down through the main bookmarks menu to "Imported from IE." At that 
point, right arrow twice to enter the IE favorites/bookmarks list. First-letter 
navigation works fine here.
The bookmarks shortcut, control-shift-b, doesn't immediately work, and I'm 
confused by what it actually does do. This so-called bar, once I finally get 
there, requires tabbing, and first-letter navigation doesn't work. I've 
unchecked "Show bookmarks bar" by pressing enter on this main bookmarks menu 
item.
Short version: for now, I'll avoid creating bookmarks in Chrome, even though 
control-d makes it easy to do, and rely on my imported IE favorites.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] can't find favorites after importing

Hi, I went to the alt menu key and arrowed down to "settings." I opened that 
and arrowed through things and there was a button that said "import boo,marks 
and settings" and I opened that. Then there was a list of things you could 
import i.e. favorites, browsing history and a few others and you check or 
uncheck them. Then you hit the import button. In a couple minutes it said I was 
successful and that it was done. I went back to the Chrome page but there is 
hardly anything there, an address bar to search, it says banner and document 
and that's it. I don't know where this link to the favorites is or what it will 
say or the keystroke to bring up favorites like I did in IE. Can anyone help, 
please? Thanks. Judy & Libby
