Hi, Mike.

Window-Eyes place markers can be set to be temporary. Instead of pasting
your search string into the WE find command, press Control-Shift-K to open
the place marker dialog. The controls are pretty much self explanatory, but
if not, the WE manual can clear up most questions. Basically, you can set a
place marker to recover your spot in text by pressing Control-Shift-K,
tabbing to the temporary check box and checking it, then pressing Enter.
Window-Eyes will have inserted a string of text at the place of the virtual
cursor and will do a search relative to line number. Since the text on the
page is unlikely to change by the time you return, this WE configuration
should get you by. If not, try the second, then the third "position relative
to" radio buttons. The bottom radio button never fails for me. Again, the WE
manual and a little trial and error should net you positive results.
God bless,
Lou N.

Subject: Returning to a Previous Spot on a web page

I regularly read Bible chapters on BibleGateway.org 
(www.biblegateway.org).  
The various translations and versions offered include valuable explanatory 
footnotes which are best read immediately as they are cited.
If one wanders off to read them, of course, one then needs to find there 
place back in the Bible chapter to continue reading onward.
I currently do this by making note of a search string in the chapter, 
clipping it into the clipboard, and then pasting it into WE's find 
command.
Works well enough most of the time, but it can be somewhat clumsy and 
awkward also. 

So here is what I was wondering.  It would be nice to be able to 
temporarily mark a point on a web page, wander off to read something else, 
and then return to the former spot.

I don't believe that WE can currently do this, nor is there a script that 
allows for this?  Does something like this exist; and, if not, could 
someone (either WE through a WE enhancement or a app writer through 
scripting) develop this capability?
