Amanda,
If you haven't done so already, I would recommend using the CAPS LOCK key as an NVDA key. Do this by going to preferences, keyboard settings, and check the checkbox 'Use Caps Lock as An NVDA Modifier'.
This stops you having to reach across the keyboard to press the insert key with your left hand and the command key (whichever that might be, down arrow in this case), or the other way round. Whatever you're doing I find the Caps Lock key easier to use than insert. You can switch caps lock on for typing upper case letters by pressing it twice rapidly.

Hi.

To read continuously, just hit insert down arrow.

That is excellent Peter but what key combination would I use
to get back tko where I was?  For example I tried this key
combination when in my Inbox in Outlook Express, now how
then do I jump back to my unread mail in the Inbox?

Why not just try the standard windows key which is
windows key B.

                Hi all,



I'm unable to find a keystroke in NVDA to
bring up the system tray in Windows 7.  Am I missing
something, or is there a word around, please?



Second, I have a strange problem with my
Dell laptop which I am unable to track down or solve
satisfactorily, save a rather dirty reboot!



If the laptop has been on for a while, the
Windows key, followed by the letter U in order to reach
shutdown just doesn't operate, though other combinations
used with the Windows key work fine.  I really can't work
out what's happening and I struggle, with lots of Alt-F4
tries in order to finally shut down.



As always, any help is much appreciated.
Thanks.



Carol P
