Thsi is strange to me.
I am not have any issues with drop boxes in any application or
preference paine, or even in Safari.
What I am having an issue with is...
VoiceOver + F1 and VoiceOver + F2 no longer works for me.
Using oiceOver + F1 X2 and VoiceOver + F2 x2 no longer works either.

I have seen that happen once or twice.
I mainly see it when I pull up the main menu bar though, where apple

Hi there.
I am having the same issue with the window chooser.
How are you getting around the dropbox issue finding the dropbox
preferences etc?

folks edit text.

Marie: someone's screen reader holding their hand is precisely the
reason that VO hints are cool as an option. Whoever needs it can have
it, whoever doesn't switches it off. It does no harm because the
hints themselves are teaching whoever hears them to use VO to interact
with Mac OS as closely

in the doc, instead of just being able to arrow down to see

Hi,
I'm pretty much used to editing on a Mac now, but I'll have to say I'm
glad there's the option to edit the way you do in Windows. I write
books that have to be structured with headings and lists and such so
they can be converted to DAISY. This means I have to write them in
Word. This

Hold down the fn while you press vo-f2 twice. You can change this
behavior in system preferences/keyboard.
Hope that helps.

Hi Donna; It could have just been me, but that is the point. there
are people out there who have been doing it one way for so long that
any change can be frustrating. I remember how many times i deleted
the wrong character or inserted a character in the wrong spot and had
to do it over.

It's dead easy. I found it on Google (google knows everything,
including how to install RAM on a white Macbook).

slot that's just right for putting a quarter in on the bottom of your
Macbook, next to (oddly enough) th

Or one of the biggest things with a data detector is that if it has a

your calendar and it would decipher the date for you.
