I think that in VO settings there is a "read text attributes" or some such
thing that is off by default. I don't know if it will help you but it's
probably a good feature to try.

Hi,
You're running this through a virtual machine, I'll assume, you'd have to. So
the answer is that it will. The System Access To Go is an executable file. You

unless you use the passthrough key combination. Of cou

I never tried Thunderbird 2, but 3.0 is not accessible. We tried it out.
Voiceover found some of the buttons but that's about it.

Hi list,
Is there some reason why Voice Over says "clickable" after reading every line
in an article on the internet? Is there some way of turning it off or is it
informing me of some information that I am unaware of?

Ahh, wasn't aware of that. According to

you can build a version with the VO accessibility turned on, at least to

Hi James;
I didn't encounter them in the article itself, but the page is full of them.

If I recall correctly, Windows sort of stumbled into accessibility as
far as keyboard controls because early Windows machines didn't have a

What I do when I hear clickable and I might be interested is to click the mouse
button with numbed 5 if you have the numbed commander on or Vo/shift/space if
not. That seems to work the best.

Hi,
First of all, vo doesn't see bullets if lists are done through auto formatting
in word or auto correct in pages. The only way for that to work that I see is

Skype doesn't read your contacts' statuses. To read the chats, you need to

Hi All,
I have a one month old MacBook Pro. Today the trackpad was not working. I
restarted the computer and it worked again as expected. This evening, however,
it is not working again. I really enjoy using the trackpad with VoiceOver. Does
anybody have any idea how to troubleshoot this?
Thank
it is possible that you downloaded an update and it shut off the track
commander. check under VO controls, and turn it back on. I have had this
exact experience happen when running updates.
good luck
