Alt+t to open the tools menu. Press "o" to open the internet settings dialog. Alt+t to open the tabbed browsing settings. Press space bar to check "enable tabbed browsing" Then restart IE.

Exactly. You can also use ctrl+1 through 8 to move to a specific tab. I find this useful if I have a lot of open tabs.

Hi Don: Ctrl+9 will put you back on the page. This works fine with IE8 (tab browsing enabled) and JAWS11. It should also work fine with IE7. I'm not sure if it will work if tab browsing is disabled. I use the tab browsing feature all the time. It's very useful to have multiple web sites inside the same window, just pressing ctrl+tab to switch between them. -Original Message- From: blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Donald Marang Sent: 11. mars 2010 08:41 To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] IE 8 settings I do not know if there is anything you can do about that.

Re: [Blind-Computing] IE 8 settings
Rick Thanks for the feedback. I'll give these ideas a whirl al -Original Message- From: blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com]on Behalf Of Rick Justice Sent: Wednesday, March 10, 2010 8:32 PM To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] IE 8 settings Hi Al, I just installed it this morning, on one of my machines. The first thing I did was to go into tools, then options, and the general tab, and disable tab-browsing. Next, in the view menu, I opened the toolbars sub-menu, and turned off all of the toolbars. I don't care for the internet that much in the first place, so I don't need to wade thru all of that clutter either. I am using Jaws 6.2, haven't looked at it with versions 10 and 11 yet.
