The correct Windows command to access the Address Bar is F6 not F4. An alternate method for obtaining the web address is to move to the top of the web page and press Insert-F1. JAWS will announce the page summary including the page address. Press Escape to close the message.

When you hit f 4 and go to the address bar you can do one of 2 things. Do acontrol a to select all and then control c to copy, or do a home and shift control right arrow until all is selected and then control c to copy. To go back to the page you are on hit tab and hit enter."God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, The courageto change the things that I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.-----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of alice dampman Sent: Tuesday, March 24, 2009 06:07 To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: JAWS will not announce information from the address bar inInternet Explorer 8 Hi, Zaheer, Once you press F4 to go to the address bar, how do you get JAWS to return to the main content of the web page? I always get stuck in the address bar. And, another question: if you press F4 to go to the address bar because you want to copy the address to paste a link somewhere, how do you do that? Thanks.
