Re: [orca-list] GNOME Help - Where's the Text?

[Thomas Ward <thomasward1978 gmail com>]

Hi Steve:

In order to read the text in the help screens you have to use the Orca
screen review commands on the numpad. At least, that is what I do and
it works out fine. You can read up line by line with the numpad-7 key,
current line with numpad-8 key, and next line with numpad-9 key. You
can not use the regular arrow keys which is your problem here.
