Hi Daniel, I think that more or less solved the problem. I've at least got a way to move into the page where I want to read and/or work and can then start moving around again. One thing I noticed with this "fix" at least this time was that when I first tabbed into the page I had to use tab and enter to interact with the links I wanted - the VO commands didn't want to kick in. Going forward a page and then back seemed to fix that problem. Weird. Ah, the fun of playing with new computers and OS's.
Much thanks for your help!
