Hello Gabriel,
I rarely read books in TextEdit, but one way to mark your place and find it
again is to enter an unusual string of characters and use the Find command when
you next open the book. Don't forget to delete those characters immediately,
though, or it will cause confusion later.

It has nothing to do with the view you are in; it works in both views for me.
Try:
Type a name which is in your contacts;
Press down arrow until you hear the full name read out;
Press return;
Press left arrow;
Press down arrow.
Anything then?

Hi all,
If I create a new message, reply, or forward, Mail fills in contact names where
it knows them. Normally this is fine, but occasionally I need to see the email
address of a contact in the to, cc, or bcc fields. How would I do this? Thanks.

It's much easier. Find the file in Finder, copy it, then simply cmd-v anywhere
in your email and the file is embedded. If your recipient has a mac they will
see it embedded, and I think some Windows clients support this, else they will
see it attached as normal. Either way it works.
