when you're focused on the combobox, press the enter or spacebar to open it and then alt+down arrow to keep it from automatically activating. now you can use your down or up arrow to make your choice. to activate your choice, press alt+up arrow. that's what I do when I come across this problem. hth

When I arrow down rather than Jaws reading the choices, the item is activated which takes me to another page. It's maddening because I know the choice I want is about halfway down the list but I can't get to it. I'm sure there must be a way of doing this. Could someone step me through the process?
