Thanks to Nic, Chantel and Anne for their comments on this question but I still haven't had success. My question deals with web pages and I have a Mac Book 10.6
When I began working on this, , like Nic says, I could advance through a web page with just pressing the down arrow but it would completely skip paragraphs when I did that. Pressing VO and down arrow did nothing beside sounding a beep. When I used the right or left arrows, it moved through the text without skipping anything but read a whole paragraph at a time. When I got to the beginning of a paragraph, I could interact with the text but I could only go word by word through the paragraph using VO right/left arrows. . Then, as suggested by Anne, I tried using quick nav for the first time and things got really strange. I understood that pressing the right and left arrows together will turn it on and off as a toggle. this has not been the case. Sometimes it toggles and sometimes it doesn't. Should I hold the keys or should it be a quick simultaneous press? At one point, it appeared to have turned on and I was, in fact, able to read through a paragraph a line at a time. Replicating this has not been easy. And after playing with the quick nav, I can no longer go through the web page with just the right and left arrows without pressing the VO keys. I guess I changed something but I don't know what I did. The tracking is still on. All suggestions are welcomed.

However, it seems like a really flaky solution, and doesn't seem to work all of the time.
