Sonar 8.5: Maximize Synth Rack

I'm not sure where this question would be routed, but here goes. What would be the easiest way to expand the Synth Rack page in Sonar so that it shows more than just the first four strips on the first page? Would I use "Mouse Keys" with JAWS? I'm confused! Isn't there a hotkey to maximize the Synth Rack within the list of Caketalking Scripts and Shortcut Keys? For example, if I have a synth rack with 12 strips, I press up and down arrow on the first page, and it only shows strips 1 through 4. I press page down, and instead of going to strips 5 through 8, it automatically jumps to strips 9 through 12. Is there something I need to fix on the screen? If so, what is it? And would I have to have sighted help to fix it?

I Dream of Australia, France, and Canada, three wonderful nations that represent who I really am.

    WHen I used 8.5 I found it easier to use the track veiw and click on the little icon by the track number that represents the synth GUI. I only used the synth rack to add or delete synths. In the newer versions on my second monitor I can see 8 synths. The synth rack is a tab now and always there. ONe of the many improvments to workflow.

    The only problem with that is that I'm blind, and I can't rely on a mouse, so that's why I use the synth Rack to go between synths. So what I'm trying to do is maximize it so their will be more than just four strips on the first page. Usually, if there are twelve strips in a project, the first page will have 6 strips, and the second page will have 6 strips. Or if there were 20 synths, the first page would have 10 strips, then the second one would have 10 strips as well. You know what I mean?
