Hi, Again, F8 doesn't work when composing an email. You would use the standard shift-control-arrow keys. The F8 feature only works when browse mode is enabled. Browse mode is enabled in these situations: 1. When browsing the internet using Internet Explorer, Firefox or Google Chrome. 2. When reading an email in Outlook, Thunderbird, Windows Live Mail.
Browse mode is not enabled when composing an email or replying to an email. A handy way to find out if Browse mode is enabled is to use the speak summary hot key, control-shift-s. If Browse mode is on, you'll hear page summary information such as the number of links, tables etc. If there are no such elements you'll hear "no elements."
