Hi Valiant, Is what you described as Smart Navigation, something new in Jaws17? I can't find anything listed as, Smart Navigation, in Jaws quick settings or the Settings Center with Jaws 16 & Windows 7. If it's in Jaws 16, would you please tell us where it's loacated? Thanks much. Take care. Mike This email was sent from my, iBarstool. Go Dodgers!

Smart navigation and navigation quick keys are two different things. Smart navigation is a glorified version of the old screen layout web document presentation mode. If you browse a site that has links placed on a line along with other text, such as a link in the middle of a paragraph, without smart navigation it places the link on it's own line and interrupts the flow of the text. Visually the link is just part of the text in a different color that you can click on, but to jaws the link is on it's own line so you can arrow down to it and press enter. With smart navigation however, jaws tries to read the link among the text around it just as it is shown visually. It's more than just that, but this was a quick stab at explaining the point of smart navigation. The idea is to allow you to continue having efficient access to the web while giving you a more accurate representation of the layout of the document. Navigation quick keys is what you thought yes, smart navigation is as I've explained here, and not the same thing as navigation quick keys.
