NO Eric, I know about VO+shift+m, if that's what you mean. Again, I say, that's not the kind of access issue I'm talking about here. These are very special cases where menues will appear on the screen but not be visible to Voice Over unless you physically move the mouse over to that menu. I

Do I do this after finding the preferences menu with the mouse? Cause the mouse is the only way I can get to it to even see it. Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!! Now A Very Proud and very happy Mac user!!! Skype Name: barefootedray On Oct 26, 2010, at 2:01 AM, Eric Oyen wrote: >

subject line almost says it all. I can find the special preference menus of both Drop Box and the Type writer keyboard, but, can't open them. Any suggestions? Tried using the return key, VO+space, just space and mouse clicking. No luck. Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!! Now A V
