Hi Marlaina! Now you have your vo controlled by apple scripts and you have keyboard commander running! If you go to the table of vo things after picking add new command in the commander tab, scroll down to the bottom and there is custom! In there is a applescript menu I suppose in there should be this script you've just compiled and then after vo+space on it you should then be able to give it a letter and from then on to use it just press the right opt and the letter you chosen! PS no you did not pick the wrong thing for end! That is the one normally used when doing vo+fn+shift+right arrow! Which one will keep you in the same column like opt+up arrow does I do not know! hth Colin I'm far too bad for Heaven! The Devil is afraid I'll take his place!
