Anne, I had found the function key and, with a bit of gymnastics, opened the oh utility. Didn't realize I needed to go to system preferences. Thank you for your email. I'll get right on it. Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 4, 2017, at 11:54 AM, Anne Robertson wrote: > > Hello Kevin, > > First of

Hello Kevin, Even with verbosity set to Low, this isn’t happening to me. Are you having other anomalies with VoiceOver? Often, when you get weird behaviour, reinitialising the PRAM can sort things out. Cheers, Anne > On 4 Aug 2017, at 08:28, Kevin Gibbs wrote: > > Guys, > > Sorry to both

Guys, Sorry to bother you. I’m using the latest Sierra and I’ve noticed that VO Shift F3 doesn’t seem to say anything about the status of cursor tracking. Any idea why? FYI, I can’t seem to get into this group to follow messages. So, I’d be grateful if anyone answering this question would c
