Hi Christina, Welcome to the group, I am sure you will enjoy Snow Leopard, even though there are a couple of issues right now. Currently, you have to either do one of the following after opening a message with the return key; •press the right arrow once if you have VO keys locked or QuickNav on •press the 6 key once if you use the NumPad Commander •press control-option-right arrow once if you use the VO keys
You will then hear your message read. As you will see if you press control-option-command-F5 after opening the message, moving the mouse cursor to the VO cursor location also reads your message, but as you also might have read on this list, you should currently set the mouse cursor to ignore the VO cursor in the navigation category of VO Utility, because you otherwise will experience strange happenings in menus and sub menus. I am sure this issue will be fixed soon. Take care, John André On Sep 8, 2009, at 8:26 PM, Christina wrote: > > Hello everyone, > > I'm new to this group and this is my first post. :) I'm glad to have > found this group as I have lots to learn. > > I upgraded to snow leopard.
