Ellen, it might be easier for you to navigate the pages if you activate groups mode. In groups mode, vo combines web features into a single group, which get read all at once, so there's considerably less keypressing needed tonavigate your documents. I never use anything else. Most folks who don't use groups mode do so because they don't like the fact that you need to interact with the groups if you wish to click a link or navigate a table by rows/columns, but for me, this isn't even a consideration, because I find it a whole lot easier to move along until I find the piece I want, then interact, then go where I need to go, especially if I'm just reading a book or something, then all I need to do is press right arrow (I have the numpad commander turned on, andhave vo functions assigned to the arrow keys) and each right arrow press gets me the next chunk of text. Simple and convinient.

I am having problems accessing links, headings etc on the web in an effecient manner. Quick Nav is turned on and I have also checked that navagating by single character is checked. Now my problems are that the only way I am able to navigate a page is by using the right arrow so 10 presses of it will take me to the 10th link, that is if there are no headings in between, in which case it will take me even longer. I can bring up the roter with vo and u and this tells me how many links, headings etc there are but pressing enter once or twice on any of these just gives me a beep. Finally if I move on to another web page and want to go back I do not know how to do this, so quick on a Windows machine with a 2 key press and I am back. Please help! Thanks.
