Hello Marlaina, To move the mouse to places that VO cannot reach, you need to turn on MouseKeys. This is done in System Preferences under Universal Access. Select the fourth tab, Mouse & Trackpad, and just to the right you'll find MouseKeys.
You have to hold down the FN key to use the K, U, I, O, and 8 keys to control the mouse when MouseKeys is on. You also need to check the Speak text under mouse after delay check box in the Announcements tab of the Verbosity category in the VoiceOver Utility.
