[RWP] Does Anyone Know How To Get NVDA to Skip Edit Boxes?

[Indigo]

I don't know how well Chrome works with Jaws, but it's easy for you to 
find out.
Just go to www.google.com
and download Chrome, which is very tiny.
Install it, but don't put in a checkmark where it asks you to make 
Chrome your default browser.
Then you get a link on your desktop to choose Google Chrome to try it, 
but you can use FireFox instead if you don't like Chrome.
