I don't know if this is what you mean, but we have a section on our site where people do "lessons" and we try to keep people cued by how table of contents is marked on the right side. The page/step they are currently using is bolded and not linked to show that's where they are. Plus, when a screen reader runs across it, it will know which isn't linked and person can select the next linked step. We also include a "next page" link at the bottom of each step.

To see it, go to: http://www.abilityforum.com/priorities.htm

Subject: Process Indicators

Hi,
I need some accessible way to indicate what step in a process someone is at on a web page. For example:
Visually, down the left side of the page is a list of steps for making a peanut butter sandwich. Down the right side is a detailed description of the process.
What are the different possibilities for indicating what step the person is on? Do you have any examples?
Thanks!
Tim
