Thanks much.  Have never tried the F6 key, although I do the same thing in 
starting at the top of the page as a reference.  My trouble has been finding 
that reference point from the address bar, Suggested Sites area, etc.  Will 
definitely try the F6.  Thanks so much.

  The solution is to press F6 either once or, most often, twice. This cycles 
through the address bar, one other aspect of the webpage (I forget which) and 
then the page itself.

  If I'm in any doubt about my location on a webpage, I press control-home to 
put me at the top and work down from there.

  Ah!

  I also must have issues with Iexplorer not always wanting to load.  

  Thanks again.

    What is happening is you are tabbing before the site loads. So to tell if 
the site has loaded just arrow through and once you can arrow through the first 
link start tabbing.
    But if you happen to go into the address bar you need to wait till the page 
is loaded before tabbing works. I tab a ton of times then hit ctrl home to get 
to the top. But that is the only way I know how to get out.
    Hope this helps!
     (I don't like to use tab through a web page because moving with arrow keys 
and headings is way more informational and is faster for me+no address bar 
trouble).

    Greetings:

    One question I've had for quite some time.  The scenario is this.   When a 
web page comes up, thinking I'm at the top, sometimes I start to tab through, 
only to hear Jaws read the address bar.  Most of the time, to get to the page 
itself, I shift-tab, then ctrl-home to the top to start navigating.

    However, sometimes, the shift-tab lands me in Suggested Sites, or 
Favorites.  When it does this, how do I get back to my page I want to navigate? 
 I've resorted to closing out IExplorer then reopening.  Is there an easier way 
to find the way back to the original page?  Please advise.

    Thanks.

    Judy
