Reading web story without continually pressing down arrow

I have experience with JAWS on Windows and am trying to master VoiceOver. When I want to read a news story or a document in JAWS, I press INSERT + DOWN ARROW. I cannot get VoiceOver to duplicate this functionality. The Read Window command always start at the top corner of the window starting with the close button and then goes through all the toolbar items. The VO Read Item (VO-A) command would seem to be the right function, but it just reads the current item, not the entire article. Isn't there a way to read from where you are down to the bottom of an Internet news story, or from where you are in TextEdit to the end of the document without reading all the window toolbar items?

Have you tried Firefox's zoom feature? Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages
You can "zoom" all sites using this add-on: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592/ NoSquint]. After setting your global zoom level, you can still fine-tune the zoom on individual sites.
After installing NoSquint, click the % on the Add-on Bar to call up site preferences, then click the Global Settings button, then the Zooming tab.
If you don't have the Add-on Bar displayed, you can right-click the new tab button ("+") or a blank area of the tab bar to the right of it and choose Add-on Bar from the shortcut menu.
You can experiment with sizes larger than 125%, but I wouldn't go much higher than 150% unless you have a large high-resolution monitor.
If there are particular sites that still present a problem, feel free to post their URLs.
You can find more information about the zoom features Firefox offers in these articles:
[[Text zoom]] - For zooming text only
[[Page zoom]] - For zooming the whole page (including images etc.)

  • Have to press down on USB connector

    I have a strange problem with both of my USB ports. I have to press down on top of the USB connector for my Macbook to recognise it. As soon as I let go, it loses connection. I've tried multiple USB cables and the same thing is happening in Bootcamp, so I'm assuming it's a hardware problem?
    When I connect my phone's USB cable, it charges fine without me pressing down on it, but if I want to see my device on the laptop I have to press down on the connector.

    I'm guessing that either a trace is lifted off the board or maybe the connector isn't fully soldered, but I don't think Apple does board level repairs. I'm not sure though. A Genius Bar eval if free, so that would be a good place to start.
    That kind of adapter could work if you can find one. Since you have a Thunderbolt you could use this:

  • How can I read non-deleted text messages from months ago without having to continuously press "Load Earlier Messages"?

    I never deleted text messages from a specific person in case I ever wanted to go back and look at them. Now months have gone by and I don't feel like continuously pressing "Load Earlier Messages" for hours trying to get back and look at them. Is there anyway I can upload the whole conversation on to my computer and read the entire conversation from the beginning?

    Yes.
    I use iBackupBot.

  • The little 'down' arrow that used to live next to the forward and back arrows in the upper left of the navigation bar, is missing. It was handy to use to go back in big jumps without having to go back one step at a time. Can you please restore it?

    When searching through a website, covering many pages of information, sometimes you just want to jump back to a page.
    Using the little dow arrow was a handy way to see where you have been and to jump multiple steps/pages backwards without continuing to click back, back, back, until finally reaching where you were. I really use it a lot and am hoping you will either restore it or provide me with a new way to do the same thing.
    Thank you!
    Maggie

    The arrow to open the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons has been removed in Firefox 4 and later.
    Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:
    * Right click on the Back or Forward button
    * Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens
    You can look at this extension:

  • Why does pressing the down arrow button result in going to the bottom of the page and being nunable to go up or down one line at a time?

    i dont know what to say in way of clarification. when looking at a page i am forced to use the "slide" on the margin which is very sensitive on very long documents instead of the down arrow to move one line. pressing the arrow results in going to the bottom and you cant return using the arrow.

  • My down arrow fell off, and it won't go back on. How do I fix this without going to an apple store?

    My down arrow came off and I cannot get it to click back on. I live a good hour and a half away from an apple store. Is there anyway to fix it without having to make that trip??

    Been there, done that. My Caps Lock key suddenly decided to become a Mexican Jumping Bean. A bit of plastic had broken off the scissors mechanism when it was barely 3 months old. Apple called it a "cosmetic damage", wanted to replace the WHOLE TOP CASE, and wanted to have me pay for the gutting, to the tune of $900.
    Went to https://www.replacementlaptopkeys.com/ got myself a new keycap and had it on 10 minutes after the postman dropped the envelope. Been a happy camper ever since, to the tune of $4.95 + shipping.
    P.S. Since now the outlines on the O, E and Delete keys are now rubbing off, I'll go proactive, buy those keycaps as well and pop off the damaged ones. Way to go, Apple with the "quality computers".

  • Is there a way to adjust the Scroll bar? Because when I press the arrows key once it goes straight to the bottom of the page rather than going down gradually.

    Before when I pressed the arrow key to navigate up and down the screen it would do it gradually. After I up graded to the current version it now skips down to the very bottom of the page.

  • Firefox scrolls to the bottom of the page when I press the down arrow, instead of moving through the text.

    When I press the down arrow on Firefox, it scrolls to the bottom of the screen. I'm almost always just trying to move the vertical scroll bar down one or two picas (or however you measure it). This didn't used to happen until about 2009. Any suggested fixes?

    Did you try hitting the '''F7''' key?

  • Drop down arrows on web parts don't appear to do anything. Bad installation? (2 questions)

    I am working with SharePoint 2010 Foundation.  When I add a web part (a library, list, calendar, etc.) to the main page of my site, the body of the web part is fine.  However, there's a problem with the drop down arrow on the far right side of
    the Title of the web part.  The last installation of SharePoint 2010 I worked with, that drop down arrow called up the Web Part Menu.  In this current installation, it does nothing.  This makes it difficult to define a view for the web page.
    I'm assuming that the installation of SharePoint Foundation 2010 didn't quite work right or my security is set incorrectly.  (SharePoint is new to the organization and I have the best user skills.)  What does IT need to do to make the menu appear?
    I also have SharePoint Designer 2010 installed on my desktop.  I can open Web Part Properties in SharePoint Designer 2010, but Views does not appear on this menu, either.  Is this just a limitation with SharePoint Designer 2010, or is this something
    that IT also needs to fix (and how)?

    add the sharepoint site to the  Compatibility View mode in your browser.
    I'm sure that you know how to do it but well... here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-11

  • I cannot drag my cursor, which means I cannot highlight things, I cannot scroll down/up without using the little arrows on the page

    Does anyone have any suggestions for this problem?
    I cannot drag my cursor, which means I cannot highlight things, I cannot scroll down/up without using the little arrows on the page.
    Thanks, Roy

    After looking at other people's posts, I think it's official: there is a bug. Itunes support said I should not have lost the drag/drop tool and I haven't on the laptop that is running itunes 10.4 and operating system 10.6.8. I chatted with someboby who lost both his drag/drop and side scroll and what we have in common is a wacom tablet for a mouse. My laptop is a wireless mouse. I reinstalled whatever updated driver that wacom has out there, shut the system down for night, hoping for magic, but alas none to be had. So if I want to change song order, I network the laptop and desktop, share the screen on the laptop, drag and drop to my heart's content and curse Apple for making me work this hard to find the tool that was once at my fingertips. Apple also let me know that if I want to share songs in household that the hundreds on songs that were purchased for .99 need to be repurchased for another .30. Maybe Apple is holding my drag/drop tool captive til I pay up the money or Maybe the next update will fix the problem, I for one give up for now.

  • How do I read a properties file in WEB-INF without hard-coding a path?

    Hello,
    How do I read a properties file in WEB-INF without hard-coding a path?
    I tried:
    Properties properties = new Properties();
    properties.load(new FileInputStream("db.properties"));
    driver = properties.getProperty("driver");
    but it cannot find the db.properties file.
    Thanks for the help.
    Frank

    Don't use a File to read those properties.
    Better to use the servlet context and
    getResourceAsStream() method to get the InputStream.
    It'll look for any file in the CLASSPATH. If you put
    that properties file in the WEB-INF/classes directory
    you'll have no problems, even if you deploy with a
    WAR file.Completely agree with this approach. Just have to mention the following for completeness
    according to the API,
    "This method is different from java.lang.Class.getResourceAsStream, which uses a class loader. This method allows servlet containers to make a resource available to a servlet from any location, without using a class loader. "
    So using this method, the resource can be anywhere under your web context, not just in the classpath.
