Hi, I know this is not an option for you under leopard but one of the new features of Snow Leopard is the web spots. When on a page there is a command vo plus command plus n. This jumps to spots on a page that voiceover detects as significant. It helps me out quite a bit. It often will bring me right to the meat of the web page. Then there is a command to read from where the voice cursor is to the end of the page, which can be used once you get to the article or text of interest. The go to next heading is helpful as well and I believe is available in leopard. However, I'm not sure as I did not learn of this until I joined this group and I already had SL. This jumps you right to headings. The rotor in SL is also a huge help in jumping to certain spots on a web page. I love the rotor. I know the information I gave you isn't necessarily helpful to you with leopard. I just wanted to pass it along if you were considering an upgrade or a new computer.
