Hi Renee, First, you might know that if you and your partner creates two accounts on your Mac, one for you and one for him, you can both enjoy your very personal settings both in VoiceOver and everywhere else on your Mac,without any problems. You can set it up so that you can switch between your two accounts simply by using a menu in the Status menu area, without login/logout. You can even set it up so that the apps you use most will open up when you login, and this setup can be different from the setup your partner uses. When you fast switches between your accounts, you can leave your apps and docs open, so they are ready to use when switching back. This way, your account will have specific settings for using VoiceOver with magnification, and your partner will have specific settings for using VoiceOver with braille display.
Also, you might know that to get VoiceOver to read the content on web pages, you will need to interact with the html area, and if you use group mode, you might need to interact with the items VoiceOver is supposed to read. Even though your magnification shows the content, you need to interact with VoiceOver to read it out loud. However, instead of using control-option-down arrow and up arrow, you might set up the NumPad Commander, so that you simply need to press plus and minus to interact and stop interaction. Press control-option-Clear to turn on the NumPad Commander, make sure the mouse cursor follows the VO cursor and that the 5 key is set to Perform Action. The last two settings are found in the VO Utilities. If you need further help, please let me know. Good luck!
