Hi Allison,
You can use a much simpler procedure to keep apps that you want in the
dock. Whenever you open an application, it is stored in the dock. To
keep the application in the dock, even when it is not opened, just use
VO-d to navigate to the dock, then type the first few letters of the
name of the app to move to that app. Then, bring up the context menu
with VO-Shift-M. Arrow up in the menu until you reach "Keep in Dock"
and then press return. Now, when you quit the app, it's icon will
still be left in the dock. When you revisit the app in the dock and
check the contextual menu, you'll find the option "Remove from Dock"
instead. You can also reorder your apps in the dock by pressing the
Option key and tapping your arrow keys. For example, if you wanted to
move your app 3 places to the left, after navigating to it, hold down
the Option key and tap the left arrow key 3 times (you won't hear
anything spoken). Now, when you arrow through the dock, the apps will
be in your new order.
The other way to place an app in the dock without opening it in Snow
Leopard is to select it in Finder and then press Command-Shift-T.
Again, you can move it around in the dock after you've placed the app
there.
HTH. Cheers,
Esther

Hi everyone,
Does anyone know how to copy apps to the doc? I have to use
Spotlight to find nearly every single application I use frequently
that is not on the doc. I read Josh Lioncourt's instructions on
copying apps to the doc, but even with cursor tracking turned off,
it doesn't seem to work. Can anyone provide instructions on how to
accomplish this? I'll tell you the steps I use to try and accomplish
this.
1. Navigate to the app I want to copy to the doc with standard
Voiceover commands.
2. Make sure the mouse and VO cursor are on the app by pressing VO
F5 then VO Command F5.
3. Then I press VO shift F3 which turns off cursor tracking.
4. Press VO shift spacebar to start dragging.
5. Navigate to the doc and press VO shift spacebar again.
I'm unsure what I'm doing wrong. Thank you for any assistance.
Sincerely,
Allison
