That is excellent info Barry which I did not know. Hussein is a Supernova user so he may tell me the appropriate short keys for the Search but I like the suggestion. I am just self taught when it comes to Supernova and have never had a training course in it so while I function fairly well there are these extras that I do not know about.

Eleanor,

What you could do in this instant is use the screen readers find command.

So Jo Blogs sends you a link and says, "Check out what so and so says about
JAWS on this page".

You load the page up, try and navigate using headings at first.  If that
doesn't take you to the start of the posting then ctrl f in JFW, ctrl shift F in Win eyes, (not sure about others). Brings up an edit box where you can
type what you are looking for on that page.  The Screen Reader will then
jump you to that word if it's found on the page.  To repeat the search if
there are more than one instance in JFW you hit F3, in Window Eyes you hit
Insert F.

Cheers,
Barry.

Thanks for that damen.  I do not want to use it much but when someone
sends
me a link and tells me to have a look at a particular thing, certainly
if
there is much reading and the friend cannot tell me all because the
friend
cannot reproduce it, then I would like to be able to use it.  no way
would I
be on it every day or anything like that.
