Hi Donna,
You might want to investigate into Apple Script. This can modify default
behaviours for applications. You can introduce your own save as. This is a work
around I know.
But even better. You could create a template using apple script. activate the

Hi Sean,
Thanks for the suggestion. I've actually been wanting to learn to use Apple
Script for a long time, but I just never seem to have time. Can you suggest
any tutorials or podcast on learning to use it?
TIA,

Hi,
I switched to mac in August. I was greatly surprised when VO read the PDF
document I had to download for one of my classes. JAWS never did that or didn't
do it without a ton of work on my part.The only thing VO gives me issues with
is charts in Pages.

I fully agree.

Hi Ricardo and others,
I didn't get the whole information in your last thread. Did I get it right that
the "kindle keyboard" is accessible for us blind users? It's a hardware or is
it just a software? I found a book reader machine at Amazon but nothing in the

I, too, am curious about this. It was my belief that only Kindle PC was touted
as accessible, but was not actually so, and nothing was remotely comparable to
the sighted use of the Kindle.

Hello Listers,
There was a topic about switching from Windows to the Mac. A related question I
have is, what is the keyboard shortcut in Lion for moving to the top or bottom
of a list. As in, you have a list of files and want to jump to either the
beginning or end of that list. For that matter,
Kindle for pc with accessibility plug in and kindle keyboard both have some
accessibility. If you are happy with being able to read books that have text to
speech enabled, but don't care about reviewing line by line, spelling words or
names, taking notes and knowing the context once you go back

No, there are two different things here. Kindle with accessibility plug in is

Hi, Marc,
Use VO-shift-home and -end for both of these tasks. An exception is TextEdit,
in which you use command-up- and -down-arrows.
