Hi Sarai,
You launch bookmarks by pressing the space bar, not by pressing VO-
space, which will indeed bring up an edit field for you to rename the
bookmarks. It sounds as though you are in the correct table of
bookmarks; just press the space bar to go to the page you have
bookmarked. The basic organization of the "Show all Bookmarks" page
(toggled on or off with Command+Option+B) is two tables and a search
field. The first table is a collection of your bookmarks, and
contains items like your browsing history, your Bookmarks Bar, your
Bookmarks menu and any folders that you might have created. (You may
also see "Top Sites" in the first table -- I have this disabled).
Once you have selected a collection or folder of bookmarks in the
first table, navigate to the second table to see the bookmarks listed
for that collection, listed by name and URL address, and press the
space bar to actually go to that bookmarked location. If you also use
the search field (Command+F to navigate there) and start typing words
or parts of words as your search terms, the list of bookmarks
displayed in the second table (your selected collection) will be
reduced to only items matching your search terms. If you VO+left
arrow from the search field, you'll hear the number of matches
announced, and if you tab to move to the second table you can simply
arrow up or down to review the matches and press the space bar to move
to the bookmarked location you want.
If you want your search terms to apply to all collections (including
history), VO-Left arrow from the search text box past the information
on the number of matches and the name of the folder you selected in
the first table to "All" and press (VO-Space). Then when you tab to
the second table listing individual bookmarks you'll find all matches
to your search terms in all your bookmark collections. Again, press
space bar for the bookmark you want.
A useful special feature of bookmarks that you save to the "Bookmarks
Bar" is that you can use a shortcut to navigate to the first nine
bookmarks: the first bookmark can be reached with Command+1, the
second with Command+2, etc. The only caveat is that when you add new
bookmarks to the "Bookmarks Bar" with the Command+D shortcut, they are
added to the beginning of your list, so what was bookmark number 1 now
becomes bookmark number 2, etc.
HTH. Cheers,
Esther

Hi:
Okay, right arrow shows the list of bookmarks in the folder; however
I cannot open them. Pressing vo space brings up an edit field for me
to edit the name. vo shift o does nothing. Same with a mouse click.
Command o brings up open file option. So Now I see them, but cannot
open them.

Hi:
I have no clue why the Safari bookmarks get me in trouble! Okay,
here is the issue. At first, I could only see 1 folder of
bookmarks, and every time I'd attempt to open I'd hear VO say
open file. So, I figured my MobleMe syncing went aray. So, I
reset sync preferences, and sank again. No luck! Importing
favorites didn't work! I see all folders, but I cannot open them
to access the favorites! I'm out of options. Here is what I've
done.
1. Disabled MobleMe Sync.
2. Erased safari files in prefs.
3. Reset Safari settings.
4. Went to IE, exported favorites as file.
5. Went to Safari, imported favorites, I.E. bookmark html file.
Now I see all folders in bookmarks.
6. Rebooted Mac.
7. I can see all bookmarks, hear there are items in the folders,
but cannot expand them to access the bookmarks in the folders,
i.e. news folder, CNN bookmark. Quick nav is off.
