Hi April, Are you interacting with the web page before you try to navigate it? You need to move to the part that says html view and interact with it using Control+option+shift+down arrow. Then you should be able to use VO+left and right arrows to move through the page. Interacting is confusing at first but not bad once you get used to it. If you need a more in depth explanation of interacting, let us know.
