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.
