overwrite mode in pages 09
Hello all, I was looking for a function in pages 09 to set the typing method to overwrite instead off insert (the default). I haven't found a menu-item / shortcut in the menu's or context-menu. Any help should be very welcome. best regards, William Windels -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: text editor?
Hi, I only know the price in swedish crowns from the app store so i'm afraid i can't be of much help there. The price in Swedish crowns are 295 sek and an us dollar is about 6.75 swedish crowns. I just checked with the currency convertion widget available in Dashboard and i would think now that the introductory price is $45 for Rapidweaver unlesss it's gone up. /Krister 18 jan 2011 kl. 23.37 skrev Donna Goodin: > Hi Krister, > > How much does it cost? > Donna > On Jan 18, 2011, at 5:14 PM, Krister Ekstrom wrote: > >> Hi >> I've found a html system that seems to be accessible for the most part.

Re: how to turn pdf instruction manuals in to audio books?
Hello Trahern, There isn't much you can do directly from a PDF document, But if you can select text and copy it into a TextEdit document, you can use the command "Add to iTunes as a spoken track". You need to make sure that this service is available by selecting text in a TextEdit document, then going to the Services menu where you should find this item. If not, go into System Preferences and Select Keyboard. Choose the Keyboard Shortcuts tab and select Services in the first table. In the second table, make sure that "Add to iTunes as a spoken track" is checked, and you can set a shortcut for it while you're there. Once you've created all the sound files for a given document, use either Audiobook Builder or Audiobook Binder to create your audio book.

Re: overwrite mode in pages 09
Hello William, I'm not sure what you mean by Overwrite mode. In Pages, you can select a model which contains fake Latin in the areas where you can enter your own text. As soon as you start typing, the fake Latin disappears. Alternatively, if you have a document you wish to change while still keeping the styles, you can highlight text and overwrite it. This is what I do all the time when translating. All styles and fonts remain unchanged.

Re: Router filtering webkit -> wasSafari weirdness.
Hello Geoff , Check your DNS configuration. Did you set it manually? If so, change it to DHCP and see if it helps. Also, what happens if you do a telnet to the webkit address from the terminal? HTH, André On 18-01-2011 18:23, Geoff Waaler wrote: Okay, I am officially replying to my own post. It's a long story, but to reduce it to the relevant facts, I am able to update webkit when I attach my MBP directly to the cable modem via eathernet. When routers are introduced into the circuit, however, I always experience the symptoms described below. I've seen this both with my Mother's Linksys router and my d-link DIR655 which are both at the latest available firmware levels. There is no filtering configured on either router, and until late December I had no problems updating webkit from either location. While visiting the Apple store I had no difficulty updating Webkit using their hotspot, hence I presume there must be a way to accomplish the task through routers. More over, I wouldn't be the only one posting on this. To reitterate, I have no web filtering active on either device, and as far as I know, only the webkit download and update check sites are affected. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Geoff On Jan 13, 2011, at 1:03 PM, Geoff Waaler wrote: Greetings, I'm having varied symptoms browsing on my MBP. Perhaps the two are related -- I'm guessing so. It all started when Webkit randomly hung up. I would press the submit button in a form and then Voiceover would repeatidly announce "safari busy" and "safari ready". Pressing a key did not take and I had to close and reopen the browser. Next, I was unable to update Webkit. Since that problem appeared to be unique to me I erased webkit.app and attempted to download the current build. For several days now I click on the download link and after about 30 seconds I receive the following message: Safari can’t open the page “http://nightly.webkit.org/” because the server where this page is located isn’t responding. I can't load that URL on my XP machine either, but can't imagine that my ISP is blocking it? I'm also having problems displaying other pages. For example, I'm attempting to register at the Apple developer site and it hangs after I press submit. I killed my cookies, but this had no affect. Could not find how to clear any other cache that could be a factor? Is it time to reinstall Snow leopard? Btw, version 10.6.7 is installed, but my problem began before this update was available.

Re: overwrite mode in pages 09
Hi Anne, Thx for the information. I am not the pages expert like you are ;) I mean non of both I think but I'll keep in mind. What I mean: If you have a file with something like: name: ... address: . It's mostly the meaning that , when the document is printed, the people write their name and address in the place where ... is written. In stead off deletion this dot's I would like to overwrite directly the ... with my name and address. In ms word, in combination with (jaws), there was a key for changing this mode: ctrl+alt+i. Is there something similar here? thanx for your answer.

Hi, I think the app just runs in the background on start up. I do think it needs to be on though but I'm not sure. I agree that this function should be in the OS natively but, its not.

Re: moveaddict
Hi Ricardo, Yes it can run in the background. The way I use it is to launch it from the doc when I need it then go back to the doc and un check start up at log in. It's kind of clunky but it works! What I do not like about it is when you cut something per-say it jumps back in to the moveaddict window and says "moveaddict has no windows". At this point I navigate back to the desk top or where ever I want to paste the thing I am moving and it works fine. with this current behavior of this version of "moveaddict" thats why I quit it after doing my moving. FYI it checks it self to launch at start up after using it. Thats why I go back to the doc and un check it! May be they will take care of it in the next version!

Hello Mac users. For anyone in IT or anyone who is nurdy, try coco packet analyzer. It is a wireshark alternative that seems to be accessible. This piece of software analyzes network traffic. Enjoy.

Re: how to turn pdf instruction manuals in to audio books?
Hi: I have a related question. I have a book someone turned from a PDF into a text edit. It is an excellent book. But, all the apostrophes, quotation marks, and some other weird markings make it kind rough reading. I went through actually word by word, I'm embarrassed to say, and fixed most of one chapter. I have since decided there were much better ways to spend my time. Anyone know what makes an apostrophe turn into "i-circomflex,' and a quote into "I-with-combining-grave accent"? (other than too much baccarty:)? aAnyone know of an easier way to make corrections? Thanks for any suggestions.

Re: how to turn pdf instruction manuals in to audio books?
Hi Carolyn, This sounds distinctly like a character set conversion problem. Unfortunately, i'm unfamiliar with the specifics of character sets on the Mac and the process the person used to convert your book. The most I can do is recommend that they run the conversion again, paying attention to character set choices if at all possible. I'm not sure what if anything you might be able to do on your end to fix the problem, as I've not used TextEdit much as of yet. Hope this helps somewhat, Zack.

Re: Router filtering webkit -> wasSafari weirdness.
Thanks much for the suggestion Andre, I reset my DLink 655 to factory defaults and confirmed that it is indeed set to DHCP. When I attempt to telnet to "http://nightly.webkit.org";, it times out Trying: 208.68.139.89 Needless to say nothing happens when I click on the "download the latest nightly build" link from webkit.org. As noted before all attempts to check for updates appear to time out and issue the error message documented initially. When I ping the address from windows I receive a reply from a different IP "208.68.143.55", though it also hangs when I attempt to enter that URL from either Mozilla or MSIE. The problem disappears when I remove the router and connect directly to my cable modem. Very strange since until recently I had no problems while attached wirelessly via my DLink 655. Except for the fact that my problem is with access to the webkit site, this is really a network issue, hence is probably OT here. Perhaps if anyone is willing to help you can write me privately, and I will post the solution here in case anyone is curious (assuming I find a solution that is). Best regards.

Re: overwrite mode in pages 09
Hello William, I've never used Windows or JAWS and don't know MS Office, but in Pages, in the Insert menu, there is "Sender Field" which has a submenu. The submenu contains options such as Name, Address, E-mail, Phone, etc. And these too have their submenus. Is this what you're looking for? You can set a keyboard shortcut for any item that appears in a menu.

Re: how to turn pdf instruction manuals in to audio books?
Hello Carolyn, The conversion was almost certainly done using a PC, but you can fix the problem fairly easily by using the Replace All function of the Find command. Work out what each wrong character should be, then select the first occurrence of that character, press Cmd-F, paste it into the first edit field, go to the next edit field and put in the character it should be, then click Replace All. Navigating left you'll see how many were changed. Use Cmd-` to switch back to the main window and repeat the exercise for the other erroneous characters.

Re: moveaddict
Hello all, it's fixed after doing some permission repair. For me , it works like it should work. It fixes also another (bug) in macosx: When you cut a folder and put them on another place where a folder with the same name is stored, by default , macosx will replace the destination folder with the source folder even if the source folder has e.g. less files. ON this way , you can lose files, after ignoring the message of macosx, that the folder will be replaced completely. Windows is doing better (safer) on that point: You'll be prompted for every element that is duplicated. Moveaddict will fix this also by giving some windows-alike options. Moveaddict should be perfect if it should simulate a real drag and drop with command+x and command+c but I think it doesn't :( best regards, William Op 19-jan-2011, om 20:19 heeft Ricardo Walker het volgende geschreven: > Hmm, > > I haven't had that behavior happen with me.

Re: overwrite mode in pages 09
Hello Anne, No, it's not that what I mean. I'll try to give a example: If I type mailliw , it's me first name spelled reversed, Then I put the program in overwrite-mode, I set the cursor on the m and I type william. The letters of mailliw are replaced with the word william, without deleting any character. In my first example: name: . address: . I don't have to delete the ... and the lay-out of the document will not be destroid. In ms-office , this is called something like a overwrite-mode and it seems not available in pages. best regards, William Op 19-jan-2011, om 23:09 heeft Anne Robertson het volgende geschreven: > Hello William, > > I've never used Windows or JAWS and don't know MS Office, but in Pages, in > the Insert menu, there is "Sender Field" which has a submenu.

Re: moveaddict
Hi Ricardo, hou do you reach that element in the statusbar? I think this is the statusbar: vo+m+m ? I can only see the menubar with Apple, sync, timemachine... clock... I tought also that the full statusbar is inaccessible with voiceover at this moment. So, as blind user, It seems impossible to get there?

Re: moveaddict
Right. You can't access it with voiceover but, it can be accessed with a mouse or your track pad. If using a track pad, make sure trackpad commander is off. Now open up VO utilities. Go down to navigation and set your mouse to move the voiceover cursor. Now your all set. Voiceover will announce whats underneath the mouse cursor as you move with the trackpad or the mouse. Move the mouse up or drag you finger up on the trackpad until you hear the items in the status bar like the clock and airport express. Move slowly to the left and you will reach an unlabeled button. If you click with the trackpad or mouse, or do a mouse click on the keyboard with VO shift spacebar, the menu will open. You can use the keyboard from here on out. Once you've opened preferences for moveaddict, open your applications chooser and their should be a system dialog open. Got to this. It will be the preference window. hth Ricardo Walker rwalker...@gmail.com Twitter, Skype, and AIM: rwalker296 Google Voice: 1-646-450-2197 On Jan 19, 2011, at 6:00 PM, William Windels wrote: > Hi Ricardo, > hou do you reach that element in the statusbar? > I think this is the statusbar: vo+m+m ? > I can only see the menubar with Apple, sync, timemachine... clock... > > I tought also that the full statusbar is inaccessible with voiceover at this > moment. > > So, as blind user, It seems impossible to get there? > > Thanx for your answer, > > best regards, > William Windels > Op 19-jan-2011, om 20:19 heeft Ricardo Walker het volgende geschreven: > >> Hmm, >> >> I haven't had that behavior happen with me.

Accessible kindle comes out for windows while Macs don't
Hi, As a avid reader, I must say I'm pretty annoyed that Amazon has given us the short end of the stick as Apple device users once again. I just wondered if you guys thing this accessibility will find its way on to the Mac now that Amazon has shown blind windows users some love. I'm personally not holding my breath.

Re: Accessible kindle comes out for windows while Macs don't
If you look at what they did on smart phones, Amazon clearly prefers to sell as many ebooks to as many people as they can, instead of pushing a specific hardware, even when it's their own. This and the fact they only need to make the Kindle for Mac VoiceOver compatible, that is, no need to implement/maintain new features...why not? I really can't see a reason for them not to do it. Now, and what about the IOS app? :-) Always optimistic, André PS: An optimist always thinks things could be worse. A pessimist is sure of it. ;-) On Jan 19, 2011, at 11:44 PM, louie wrote: > I got a e-mail from Amazon and they said that they were working on it for the > Mac. > On Jan 19, 2011, at 3:30 PM, Ricardo Walker wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> As a avid reader, I must say I'm pretty annoyed that Amazon has given us the >> short end of the stick as Apple device users once again.

I would press the submit button in a form and then Voiceover would repeatidly announce "safari busy" and "safari ready". Pressing a key did not take and I had to close and reopen the browser. Next, I was unable to update Webkit. Since that problem appeared to be unique to me I erased webkit.app and attempted to download the current build. For several days now I click on the download link and after about 30 seconds I receive the following message: Safari can’t open the page “http://nightly.webkit.org/” because the server where this page is located isn’t responding. I can't load that URL on my XP machine either, but can't imagine that my ISP is blocking it? I'm also having problems displaying other pages. For example, I'm attempting to register at the Apple developer site and it hangs after I press submit. I killed my cookies, but this had no affect. Could not find how to clear any other cache that could be a factor? Is it time to reinstall Snow leopard? Btw, version 10.6.7 is installed, but my problem began before this update was available.

You need to make sure that this service is available by selecting text in a TextEdit document, then going to the Services menu where you should find this item. If not, go into System Preferences and Select Keyboard. Choose the Keyboard Shortcuts tab and select Services in the first table.

Re: Accessible kindle comes out for windows while Macs don't
Ricardo, The Kindle accessibility plug in application was designed using something called the qt graphics package. I haven't a clue what that is. But given that they went out of their way to use something that doesn't let you actually use the app with your screen reader, using the screen reader's navigation keys, speech synthesis etc, I would guess that they're not going to write anything for the Mac that enables vo users to get full access. they're still worried about their precious agreement with the publishers and the tts. Since Macs and I-devices have screen reading available by default, somebody at Amazon will undoubtedly decide that they can't let Mac users have the access, because they it would be available to everybody. You can't use the accessibility app on Windoes unless you have a screen reader installed, even though the tts used does not come from your screen reader.

Not fair, but here's a solution; access would only be enabled if VoiceOver is turned on. If not, you're screwed.

Re: Accessible kindle comes out for windows while Macs don't
If you go to the page on amazon for the accessible Kindle app, you'll see that they require that one have a screen reader installed to use the tts feature. that's why they can let us have access to all the books, even those that are tts disabled on the Kindle hardware. Sighted people generally don't have screen readers installed, but with Macs and I-devices, that's not the case. I hope I am proven wrong and amazon actually does make the thing vo-compatible, but I bet they don't do anything for I-devices, and they'll have to come up with a way to ensure that only screen reader users can access the tts on the Mac. How do you do that when VO is on all Macs? Mary Mary Otten motte...@gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Accessible kindle comes out for windows while Macs don't
You know, NVDA is one of the screenreaders that will work with the Kindle App for PC and enable TTS on all Kinle books. Theoretically, anybody could download and use NVDA since it is open source and free, thus giving the masses access to TTS on the PC Kindle App. I bet most sighted people are not going to give a hoot, however, just like they wouldn't care if TTS was enabled on their Mac if Voice Over was turned on. Just something to think about.

Re: how to turn pdf instruction manuals in to audio books?
Another point. How do you chage the voice and speed that results? Got the convertion to work but caint work out how to change the voice. According to what I've read, you do it in the system prefs window under the Text to speech tab under the speech prefs window. Thing is, that doesn't change the rate of speech though.

Never Thought I'd Have Tilting Issues In Aurifi ...
Hi, all, This question regards the game for IOS4. Tilting my ITouch has really become an issue for various purposes during the game. Getting started is no problem, but for some of the activities, things don't go the way I expect them to at all. I've tried tilting sharply or tilting at a 90-degree angle, etc., and the results are inconsistent for me. I've always had trouble holding liquids level, so this is no great surprise. Nevertheless, does anyone else find this tilting bit to be somewhat of a learning curve?

Intellectual property issues are a pain. I understand that the artist or author needs to be compensated for their work, but I'm really tired of the extremes that companies go to. It's ridiculous that anyone could consider TTS voices as an actual audio book. As someone who produces actual audio books, I'm here to say that it's not as simple as sticking someone in a booth and making them read the text. There is a certain level of artistry and performance that goes into them.
