Something interesting I noticed this evening while putting appointments on my calendar, in case this is benefit to anyone else, is that once an address is entered into the "Location" field, it becomes imbedded text. It appears that this text is then almost an image and is impossible to read word-by-word. So, if anyone needs to verify an address or to read it back, it may be a good idea to slow the speech slightly in order to catch the entire address with phone number, etc. More helpful, in the "URL" field, the website I entered became a hyperlink and is immediately clickable, which is extremely handy.
I suppose a work around to the imbedded text issue is to type the address in the "Notes" field. Otherwise, iCal is fabulous and a lot more accessible and useable than I previously thought.
