Hi Randi, Group mode is one of the settings in the VoiceOver Utility panel (VO- F8). Interact with the table (VO-Shift Down arrow) and navigate to the "Web" setting. Then stop interacting (VO-Shift Up Arrow) and VO- right to the settings under "Web". The first entry will be "When naviagating web content use" and there will be radio buttons for "DOM navigation" and "Group navigation". VO-right to the one you want, and use VO-space to select that radio button. Then use Command-W to close the Utility Panel window.
DOM mode is a kind of consecutive ordering of visiting links. Group mode is hierarchical, and can be faster on pages you're familiar with (you navigate by groups and drill down by interacting to the precise item you want). Some web pages work better in one mode than another. This is also within individual usage preference. If you haven't done this, you should start by downloading the "VoiceOver Getting Started Guide for Leopard" from http://www.apple.com/accessibility/voiceover/downloads.html which is Apple's comprehensive document on using VoiceOver. It's available in PDF (use Preview to read) or mp3 files or podcasts, as well as Braille and other formats. Hope this helps, Cheers, Esther On Mar 3, 2009, at 10:26 AM, rayna424 wrote: > > Group mode? Whats that? I can only write on walls if they write on > mine first.
