I never was good at this: what settings do I need in jaws to be able to click on a link in an email? I have always had trouble clicking on any links in any Emails. Any suggestions are appreciated.

The link should start with http://
If it does, go past all that with the right arrow until you get to the www. bit and try pressing enter on there. Hope this helps.

Or you should just be able to click on links in Emails. If not, go in to the address bar CTRL O, ensuring that you've highlighted and copied the link first, then paste that in the address bar then press Enter to enter the new page or site.

I've just remembered, for some links and graphic links, you need to press control+enter to activate them.

Also, maybe your pop up blocker's preventing you from clicking on some of these links. Press CTRL Enter to bypass that when you wish to click on a link.

Hi,
This topic is not in the correct category. It should be in Geeks r Us. Please pay attention to what category you create topics in. It is anoying to see a topic in the wrong category. I know some of you may not care but some of us actually do.

Hmm. Interesting question. I've always been able to just hit enter on links in e-mail and it goes to the website without any problem. Do you use Jaws? What version?

It should say link before the address. If not try copying it in to your address bar.
