Re: Scrolling the dock from a visual perspective
Hello, Yes. And sighted people can just move the pointer to the side of the screen where they have placed the dock and it will pop up, and hide itself when they move away from ther area if they set this up in system prefs. If not, the dock is always on screen unless they put an app in full screen mode.

Hi all , My name is Becky Sabo. I have not had my mack very long. I am using voice over on the computer. I purchase pages and I having some problems with it. Could anyone help me ?

Re: need some help with pages
Hi there, To be 100% honest, I'd get a free text editor called Bean. It's not available from the app store, however, but you can download it from the following link: http://www.bean-osx.com/Bean.html It's completely accessible with VoiceOver, and is vastly superior to Pages in my opinion, since there's no way to see what page you're on in a document as far as I can tell. With Bean, it will tell you what page your on, or at least shows you somewhere. As far as the double spacing goes, I'm not quite sure how to do that, since I don't use Pages.

Re: need some help with pages
For double spacing, and most other kinds of styling, you'll want to use the inspector, by pressing command-option-i. There's a group of radio buttons, and I think you'll want to press “text.” Then under the text tab, you'll see an option that says lines, with the number 1. Change that to 2, and it'll be double spaced. Just press escape, or command-option-i again, to hide the inspector. To tell the number of pages, you can either tell this in the inspector under document > info, or if you stop interacting with the body of the page, usually it'll say something like “body page 1 of x.” If you stop interacting again, you'll be in the layout area where all of the pages are listed.

Re: need some help with pages
Hi, No, I've never had Bean crash at all. As far as a word count, I haven't found how to do that yet. If pages gives you all of that info, plus more, I may start using that as my word processor of choice, instead of Bean. I just used a free alternative since I didm know much about Pages. Lol.

I do that as well, Danny. Makes reading really nice, especially on an iPad.

question about VueScan
Hi guys My question about VueScan is this. I did several scans, and I was asked if I wanted to rewrite the file I had told the program to use. I said yes thinking it would delete the old material and replace it with the new stuff. Not so. I just discovered that I had new stuff added to the old. Does it cause a problem to delete the file? That is, will the program just re-create the file if one doesn't already exist? Regards, Gigi -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Tap Forms
Hello, I wanted to let you guys know about Tap Forms by Tap Zapp Software, Inc. It is database software which runs on OSX and IOS, but each must be purchased separately to allow cloud syncing. The OSX version costs $24.99 USD. It is completely accessible from what I can tell, and it allows search rules for quick searching and retrieval of records, although i have yet to try this feature. You can both import and export CSV files from Numbers/Excel, as well as import, export, and print records. You can include checkboxes, notes, and pick lists in your forms from which you then create your records. It supports file attachments as well. It seems like a wonderful product so far.

Re: Kindle now accessible on IOS with Voiceover.
Hi, Why? I can't see why that would matter much. But, I would assume the kindle pages probably hold more text since there are no controls or elements visible on the screen unlike iBooks. But, I'm no where near certain of this. Its just a guess. hth Ricardo Walker rica...@appletothecore.info Twitter:@apple2thecore www.appletothecore.info On May 4, 2013, at 2:50 PM, Jane wrote: > One thing I have been trying to figure out is if the Kindle pages are any > bigger than the iBooks pages. > > Jane > > > > > On May 4, 2013, at 2:47 PM, Danny Noonan wrote: > >> I don't mind the page turn noise but do set the smallest font size to >> maximise the amount of text on each page though. >> >> Danny >> >> Sent from my iPhone >> >> On 05/05/2013, at 1:05 AM, Maria & Joe Chapman >> wrote: >> >>> I don't mind the page turning sound either.

Re: question about VueScan
Hi there. The file scan 001.txt is automatically created by the program if you tell it not to attend text. So, you can go ahead and delete that file; VUE scan will recreated for the next OCR batch. However, should you ever wish to attend new text to the old text in the file, rather than overwriting it, the plus sidn lcan be put after the number in the file telling Vuescan to Add newly scanned material to the file. Hope this helps. Sent from my iPhone On May 4, 2013, at 12:34 PM, Eugenia Firth wrote: > Hi guys > My question about VueScan is this.

Re: Kindle now accessible on IOS with Voiceover.
Hi all, Is anybody else with an iPhone 5 not able to flick left and right in the reader menu? I don't mean the home screen, but the menu from within a book. I can touch elements on the screen and activate them, but I have to find them rather than flicking to them. On the iPad the reader menu works normally, so I'm wondering if it's an iPhone 5 issue? Otherwise, I'm loving the accessibility on the Kindle app. Lisette On 5/05/2013, at 8:40 AM, Ricardo Walker wrote: > Hi, > > Why? I can't see why that would matter much.

RE: Kindle now accessible on IOS with Voiceover.
I signed up for a subscription of MacWorld on the Kindle without realizing that it is available through NFB Newsline. The version of the magazine on the Kindle app appears to be quite a bit different from the Newsline version. I've looked at the current and previous version of the magazine in Newsline to make sure I wasn't viewing two different issues. The Kindle app offers a 30-day trial of their magazines, with the PC World subscription costing $1.99 per month. If anyone is familiar with the version of the magazine on Newsline and wouldn't mind taking a look at the Kindle version, I would be very interested in your observations.

Re: Kindle now accessible on IOS with Voiceover.
Hi Lisette, I wonder if this not being able to flick thing is something random. I have encountered this problem with a book on my iPad. That same book, on my 4S, does not exhibit the problem. Also, on the iPad, when I do a continuous read in that book and the page changes, instead of continuing to read, my iPad says "go to" and quits reading, and I have to two finger flick down to start again. But another book on the iPad doesn't do that. It seems quite strange, rather like how some books don't have a table of contents, but others do.

Re: Kindle now accessible on IOS with Voiceover.
Hi Mary,I've tried it with two titles and so far they both exhibit this problem. But I can still totally use the app so it's more of a minor annoyance than anything else. I would never have believed the Kindle app would ever be accessible. Where am I going to find the time to read all I now have access to?

Well, since I don't have an iPhone 5, I can't say about the flicking issue. Hopefully somebody with a 5 will come along and put in their 2 cent's.

Re: Kindle now accessible on IOS with Voiceover.
Hello Mary, on my iPad mini, sometimes reading will just stop at the end of a page for no reason I can figure. on average, I would say this might happen every 30 pages or so? The menu doesn't pop up though, I'm just sitting there on the page. When this occurs, I do a 3 finger swipe from right to left to turn the page then do a 2 finger swipe up to start continuous reading again.

Re: Kindle now accessible on IOS with Voiceover.
Hi Lisette and Mary, On the iPad, it may be the issue that the first generation model Mary is using just doesn't have as much active memory to use for continuous reading. I don't think that's an issue with the later model iPads. I agree with Anne's assessment that some eBook versions simply don't provide navigation in the table of contents, but just lists. A suggestion for Lisette: to navigate the table of contents with flicks, set your rotor to words or lines and then flick up and down. I was finding that for some books I could only easily navigate to the parts and not to the numbered chapters within the major parts untile I set my rotor to words, then I could navigate to individual chapters in the Table of Contents and double tap to go there in the book. This way you don't have to first touch the section with the chapter number on the screen and double tap.
