[blindlaw] Skipping past citations

Hello,
The recent threads discussing Westlaw and JAWS have prompted me to introduce
one of my own. I vaguely recall that there may once have been some
discussion on this point but it's very hazy in my memory.
When reviewing a case on Westlaw, is there a way to conveniently skip past
citations embedded in the body of the decision, and immediately continue
reading the decision text? I find that hearing the whole citation read from
beginning to end tends to be both distracting and a time-waster, especially
when I'm skimming through the decision for a first reading. The best
solution I've found is to just arrow down a line or two when JAWS starts to
read a citation, as this usually helps me to find the end of that citation
faster, but that's far from a precise technique.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts or suggestions.
Andrew Webb
