Thanks Tim. Next time I fire up the Mac I will see if I can
understand the grid element. I may also run into Mac users during the
enxt 2 weeks and if I do, I will sit with them and learn some things..

Hi Catherine Turner,
I've used a lot of sites. All the blocktext of the Apple sites, I've
listened to the random lists of commands hundreds of times, Even the 30 or

instructions is Tech Ease. There examples for a few
Thanks Tim Kilburn,
There is a lot of good information on that site! I appreciate it.
One of the sites I am trying to figure out to use in Safari, the main
document is a list. Figured out that much. Now, to get it to read the
text in the list, and not just the links in between each
Hi April,
I had a web-site years ago that outlined some VoiceOver and Macintosh basics.
Maybe it could be helpful to you. It is no longer live or public but available
from my Server. The caution here, though, is that it was designed back when
10.4 Tiger and 10.5 Leopard were out so there are
Hi April,
Apologies if you've already talked about this separately, I am rarely
up-to-date with list mail. But what resources have you tried for
learning Mac/Voiceover? I found the getting started guide (which is
available both on the Mac and online) helpful. Also David
Woodbridge's podcasts.
Hi,
A Scroll area is an area within a web-page or other screen that is scrollable.
Sort of like a smaller window within another that you are able to manipulate or
ignore as you wish. A Table is just that, like a spreadsheet of rows and
columns within a larger element. A Group is a collection
John,
Having used Windows for many years, some of the terms used on OS X
do not quite click. Could you briefly explain the following? Just to get
a better picture of the elements. Thanks.
Scroll areas, Tables, Groups, and Grids.

Yes, this is a great explanation. It also allows you to see specific parts
of an interface or screen. So, instead of being overwhelmed by everything all
at once, the screen is segregated so that you can interact to view specific
areas and, thus, limit confusion.
Scroll areas, Tables, browse
Interacting is like zooming in on something. If you want greater detail, you
move closer to the object and examine it. This is what interaction is.

Can't explain but I interact with toolbars, tables and lists as well as
HTML content controls.

I think it's important to get the basics down first. Then, users can
branch out and try shortcuts.
After two months, my VoiceOver works less than it did on day one. I still
have no idea how to use it to check mail, or on Safari. I kinda got it
working on Calendar and Pages. At one point. W

Hi,
Well, the fact is, that there are quicker ways to do things. Rather than first
going to the desktop, to get to a known place, then having to go to the apps
folder, etc, from whereever you are, you can use Spotlight to open an app, and
it's so easy to teach. From anywhere, command-space, typ
I echo the use of the tab key and Quick Nav. I use Quick Nav a lot of
the time and find it very efficient. You just need to get to learn
when it's appropriate/quick and when switching it off would serve you
better.
A small point I would dispute is David Woodbridge starting his
podcasts at a cert
Hi,
There are two things here. Firstly, you do not have to interact much of the
time when people say you do, it's a case of learning the settings and the
operating system just like in Windows. For instance, when I go into Mail, my VO

Hi,
I'm only a year into using the Mac and still use Windows as well but
here's my take on it. While it can be a bit time consuming and fiddly
sometimes interacting with several layers I can see benefits to the
approach as well. For example, in Windows you have several different
