Hi, Andre. Thanks for responding to my query. I solved the problem just a few 
minutes ago, but in a way I thought shouldn't work. All the recommended 
WordPress methods for embedding a link in text failed, including the couple 
that you suggest. I have no idea why, and I hope one day to find out. 
Meanwhile, on a whim, I wrote the text in an MS Word file and embedded the link 
there, then copied the result into my WordPress text. To my surprise, the link 
was recognized, stayed embedded, and (as I've since confirmed) works. 

It seems WordPress just got a little easier.

Have you tried highlighting the text you want to appear as a link? Then shift 
tabbing back to the area with the link button? Hit enter or on that link 
button. Or maybe once you've highlighted the text (maybe with the shift plus 
arrow keys), then hit control plus K.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] WordPress and JAWS query

I wonder if anyone currently on the list works with WordPress. I'm trying to 
insert a link into existing text on one of my WordPress pages. I can add the 
link in http form, but I can't embed it in the text. I used to be able to do 
it, but either I've forgotten the method or it's changed.
Earlier this year, a lister who no longer seems active, suggested using 
control-k, as I would in MS Word, but it isn't working.
Any ideas?
