jaws.

  Hi Flor,
  The links you mentioned  are very useful to know
  when the opportunity to use them is there!
  I am using Jaws 4.02 and while I press the letter, n, it does nothing!
  The virtual cursor is the plus key, I think?
  I wonder is there a way say, by a keystroke even that one could jump down
a few lines in a page possibly avoiding at least most of the links?
  I would appreciate any further feedback on this.
  Have a good week,
  Tony Sweeney.

    You might find a Jump To Content link or a Skip navigation link, or a
link with similarly indicative wording,  near the top of a Web page.  Use
such a link if present.  Or, hit the letter n [a JAWS keystroke in virtual
cursor mode] until you get to the non-linked text you want.

      Hi All
      Could someone take me out of my misery and please if you could let me
know
      how I can go to the body of a web page without always having to go
through
      the links menu?
      It is necessary of course initially I suppose when going to a website
but to
      have tlinks list  coming up all the time is a real pain
      in the proverbial!
        Getting there on the web but ...
        I am using Jaws
      All the best
      Tony Sweeney
