Group mode is another way to browse web pages. Basically, voiceover groups items, such as a list together, if you want to read the items in a group, you interact with the group. I generally don't use group mode because there's too much interacting involved, but some people find it useful. You can change the mode in the voiceover utility, and can also define a hot key for switching between group and dom mode. On Dec 17, 2010, at 7:13 PM, Marlaina Lieberg wrote:
