Hello Sandra, Your trackpad does the same thing as the mouse. You can turn VoiceOver off and press the trackpad to click the mouse. However, I just make sure that the trackpad commander is off and click with the trackpad without turning VoiceOver off. Also, I installed a handy utility that allows me to move the mouse without turning on Mousekeys. In VoiceOver Utility, under Verbosity/Announcements, I: check the checkbox Speak text under mouse after delay, and set the delay to zero. I can then move the mouse with the trackpad and hear where it is.
