Guys,
I went looking for Josh's tutorial that was referenced in a search of theMac
Visionaries archives but couldn't find it. I'm trying to find a way to select
multiple files and copy or drag them to another location. Could someone tell
me where this info is located in the Voiceover manual?
Hello!
Hmm this is interesting. i downloaded the big file (about 0.98 GB) and it still
fails. It says that there was an unknown error which caused the install to fail
and if the problem persists I should contact the vendor.
I just downloaded the update from the support > download page from App

Hello Kevin,
Drag&Drop only works within the same window at the moment, so I doubt it is
going to be of use to you.
However, VO-F6 will tell you everything that is selected.

No. Lion will be version 10.7.
That is due out sometime this summer; or so i believe. Trust me, when Lion is
close to coming out, this list, along with others, will be swarming with all

The Acapela voices are excellent. The only minor drawback is that they cannot
