Hi Lucy;
I found that reading the content by paragraph (P) using Jaws was the best strategy.
After the Intro they show a list of unrelated articles that can be avoided.
When you get to the next paragraph of the article you can continue reading in this way.
There are also links provided to the next related article that are all worth a read.
This is possible, but is a PIA.
