Hi Dabe,
to get to the ody of the page, you need to interadct with the "html
content". ONce you do that, use vo keys with navigation commands to find
and read the text. Unfortunately, there is not a reliable way to read large
chunks of or whole pages for the most part with vo.

Many thanks. I've been using Item Choser and Link Chooser. Will change
the TAB Key option. My main problem has been just getting used to the
layout of pages on the MAC. On a page where I actually want to read
the text and not go to another link, I'm having problems just getting
to the body of the page. Not sure if I'm really making sense here. I'm
sure part of it is breaking old habbits with traditional screen readers.
Many thanks again,
Dave
