Yes, I think if the files were marked up properly, we could use the level =
1 headings to move from section to section.

Hi All,
The new betas really rock for me. With today's New York Times and =
USA-Today=20
from Bookshare, it is necessary to use the subsection commands to move =
from=20
article to article. The subsection commands really do allow one to read=20
part of an article and immediately move to the next article. It is very=20
cool. The new level one section commands do not work properly with =
these=20
files. I was expecting to be able to use the level one commands to move=20
between different sections of the paper. I am guessing that the file is =
not=20
formatted with level one headings? What do you all think?
The new ability to move to the beginning or end of a list of files or=20
folders is wonderful. I like the change to the memo recording also. =
This=20
really looks good to me.
