Hi Rick,

What you describe has always been my experience, which is that JAWS doesn't 
land on web pages consistently.  I've made a habit of pressing control-home 
each time I go to a new page to ensure I begin at the top.  That way, as you 
seem to agree, I'm always oriented.  With familiar pages, I then know how to 
get where I want.

  Hi,

  When I use IE a lot of the time JAWS will start reading somewhere on the page 
other than the top.  Sometimes it will start reading the page then other times 
it won't and sometimes JAWS will say how many links and frames and headers are 
on a page and other times it won't

  I have JAWS set to not skip over links on pages, so it should start at  the 
top everytime.  Does anyone have any suggestions for a fix on this?  Or is this 
just JAWS being normal.  I have had the problem on other computers and on JAWS 
7 and 6.2, 6.1 and 6.0

  Thanks for any help.

  Rick
