[nfbcs] question on navigating electronic docs

JAWS treats PDF documents like HTML pages, so the html keys you would 
normally use on a web page should work. However, this is also 
dependent on how the document was initially formatted and marked 
up.  If Headings, Links, lists, etc., were not used in the source 
document, they will not be in the PDF, unless it has been remunerated.

I can't speak to WordPerfect, its support in the AT world is not what 
it once was in the 80's and 90's.
