So what you're doing is selecting a large block of text to be read?

Subject: Re: How to read entire article on web page.
Hello Kevin,
Yes, you can start from a particular point and read to the end of a web
page. It's easiest if you have all your cursors tracking one another:
. Find the point from which you wish to start (it must not be a link);
. Click 3 times with the physical mouse;
. Move to end (VO-Shift-End), it must not be a link;
. Hold down Shift key and click with the physical mouse:
. Use the Start Speaking Text command.
It's quite quick to do when you get used to it, but it's best to have set a
shortcut for Start Speaking Text.
Cheers,
Anne

guys,
I'm cruising around on my wife's Mac, an original Power PC Powerbook.
this runs Leopard, not SL. When I choose a link with VO Space bar, I always
get sent to the top of the new page and have to VO right arrow several times
to get to the body of the article I wish to read. In addition, I can't
simply execute a command to read the entire article in one pass. the best I
can do is get the article to read one paragraph at a time using the VO right
arrow. VO A, VO P, VO S, all seem to do the same thing. Also, when I am
reading, if there's a link in the paragraph, Voiceover will stop and I have
to VO right arrow again to get it "over the hump" of the link and continue
reading. How can I simply get Voiceover to read an entire article without
stopping, regardless of the presence of links and other obstructions. I've
tried both Dom and Group mode in VO utility. Is there some other setting I
need to use so that when I choose a link to a story on, say, Huffington Post
or CNN, I'm sent immediately to the body of the article without having to
read through all the redundant links on the new page?I guess I'm looking for
the equivalents to the use of the letter n in JAWS to skip to html content.
Thanks,
Kevin
