Hi Andy,
Why not use VO-U and set your rotor to "Links", then type in the first few
letters of schedule ("s c h")? That worked for me. I press return to go to the
link, then either VO-Space or press the up and down arrow keys to activate my
selection. Or, you can use item chooser menu (VO-I), type in "s c h", and do
the same thing to navigate to the "Schedule" link on that page and select it.
Remember, when you use the links chooser in the rotor or item chooser menu, and
either press return or VO-Space on your selection, you only get taken to the
position of that control. You still have to activate it. And with item chooser
menu you can parse out links by pausing between typing your search terms. For
example, you could quickly type "s c h" and then type "l i n" to find links
that match "s c h", but you don't need to do this in this case.
HTH. Cheers,
Esther
