A way to kind-of do this is to save the page as a text document. Also, an almost example of what can be achieved is when, in a newspaper article on-line, you enter on the 'printable version' link. (then, if the printer wants to print, hit the escape button, and you can read away.)

He wants to know if there is a key command that will let you read an entire web page from top to bottom as if it were a text document. Ignoring all the links, combo boxes and all the other clutter. Truth is, I don't think such a key command exists. ----- Original Message ----- >From: "Kate" <shamaniclivin1...@hotmail.com> To: <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2009 7:07 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Reading text only in a webpage Use the letter N to navigate to the text of webpages.
