Thanks guys. Your suggestions have been met with varying degrees of
success and disappointment, depending on the type of website I am on. It
seems that Wickapedia is particularly problematic due to the way their
frames and tables are set up. When using some of the mouse and
keystroke
instructions I sometimes get the underlying HTML jargon read to me
instead
of the text of the article. However, for the most part, NVDA does a good
job reading text articles with the mouse pointer alone, as long as there
isn't a lot of embedded stuff in and around the article. Meanwhile, it
serves as an added incentive for me to learn keystroke navigation and
wean
myself off of the mouse. I often turn off my monitor when practicing
keyboard navigation to avoid the temptation to grab the mouse to perform
fuctions I am still able to discern with my remaining vision. Its really
quite satisfying to realize that I can get along quite well without my
nose pressed up against the screen and also to recall the early days of
computing (pre-MAC and pre-Windows) when nwe didn't have mice. - but
that's another story. Anyway, thanks for the help.

Try doing a left-click on the paragraph you wish to start from, or pres
NVDA+num-pad-slash to root the mouse to the object, then press left
mouse
button, num-pad-slash by itself.

This does not seem to work for me. When I put the cursor at the
beginning of a paragraph I want read and press insert plus the down
arrow key, it reads from somewhere but its definitely not where the
paragraph starts. It seems that it starts reading the web page from
beginning to end and not from where I want it to start reading from.
Thanks.

If you get on a web site, cursor down to the start of an article and
use insert down arrow, does it still not read the whole article?

Hi, Brian -
I don't know why its programmed this way. It is particularly
annoying
when
trying read articles on websites like Wickapedia which often contain
many
links in each line of text to other Wickapedia articles. I just copy
the
entire article to the clipboard and read it from there as I amstill
trying
to master keyboard navigation.

He might be using a mouse. If you roll the mouse to an article un a
website it reads up to the point of the first link it encounters
then
stops. Not a problem for keyboard users, but might be annoying for
partially-sighted mouse users. An *ignore linkks* option on the
mouse
settings menu would be a nice low priority ticket item in the
future.
Just a suggestion.

Subject: [nvda] Problem with reading articles on web sites
Hello group, I am having a problem reading articles on web
sites
using nvda. The problomatic articles are those which contains links
anywhere in a paragraph. Nvda will start reading the article but
will
stop
reading it when the word or couple of words to be read are links. In
order
to continue reading past the link enabled word, I have to move to
the
line
below where the link is to continue reading the article. Once this
is
done, nvda will resume reading the article from the word after the
word
that has the link on it. I am not sure if this is a bug or this is
the
intended behavior of nvda. Sorry I am not very good with explaining
things
very clearly. Anyone notice this? I was using nvda v0.6 but just
updated
to the beta 20091 release. Thanks.
