Hi, OK, so, in WE, it has to do with whether browse mode is on or not? We weren't looking at an editbox but an entire website where I was tabbing through the links. She is good enough that she could pretty well understand the voice when I slowed it down and, in the end, it worked out. I will remember tips for next time re: turning browse mode on or off and using pageup or down.

So find what you want in the virtual buffer and route the mouse and turn browse mode off, or maybe turn browse mode off first, or if in an edit box justhit enter. Hope this helps.
