Re: o. t.: Microsoft Office for Mac! Important: read and leave comments!
First, I want to apologize for my earlier message. I did not know that there was someone from Microsoft he was reading this and willing to work with us. Sarah, I very much appreciate your willingness to listen and to begin to work with us on accessibility. When I try to use Microsoft office on the Mac, I can access the menus and I can access the buttons along the top of the document. But when I tried to interact with the text area nothing is accessible. I cannot listen to what I am typing or I cannot listen to what someone else has typed there. I would be happy to help in other ways If needed. Again, thank you so much! Nancy Badger, Ph.D Assistant Vice Chancellor, Student Services UT Chattanooga Sent from my iPhone with dictation software.

Re: Create folders in Finder

When you use this shortcut, or equivalently, when you navigate to the File menu after going to the Finder menu bar with VO-M or COntrol-F2, your new folder gets created in your current directory. So if I've navigated to my home directory with Command-Shift-H, using that shortcut will create a new folder under the top level of my user account, while if I use Command-Shift-O to navigate to my Documents folder before issuing that shortcut, the new folder will be created in my Documents folder. (I can also navigate with my arrow keys in Finder to subfolders if I want to create the new folder somewhere else.) If you want to place a folder in the Finder sidebar, first create it in the location that you want, then select it and use the Command-T shorcut for "Add to Sidebar". You can also find this option under the "File" menu as "Add to Sidebar" if you don't remember the shortcut. To remove an item from the sidebar, when you're focused on that item bring up the Contextual menu with VO-SHift-M, and select the "Remove from Sidebar" option. Smart folders are folders whose contents are specified by rules rather than by selecting specific items. They can also be the saved results of specific searches that you do in Finder.

Dictation help quick please
Hello, I am almost totally blind, and have had to have a cast put on my hand. Therefore for the next month I won't be able to type well. I am looking for a program for my mac that will do dictation, launch different programs et cetera. Someone suggested Dragon naturally speaking. Does anyone know how this program works with VoiceOver? Does anyone know if there's another dictation program that would work better with VoiceOver? Please help if you can. I can't do my job very long without be able being able to communicate on the computer I am dictating this message with Siri. So email work fine on my phone. But it's the rest of my Computer work that I will have trouble with. Thanks in advance.
