I have no idea why. They are even zipping 56 kb files. And I can't email
anything out from Pages or Numbers without exporting to another format
first. And like so many other things, Apple Support blames the email, not
the Apple files.

I have links to several lists. Can't figure out where to use what commands
though.

Okay. The one I have is from W3schools, and has both Windows and Mac. I
don't have a link though, just a printed copy.

I got stuck in Pages and couldn't figure out how to get to where I wanted.
I eventually got there.
Next tried Email, and was able to read a couple right quick. Didn't try to
save any. That's for another day.
Opened Calendar. Was able to have it read what I had already inputted for
today.

Thanks for your help!
Since dictation won't do what I need it to do in Pages, I'll try to find
something that will. Just not right now. I've still got to many little odd
things I don't know how to do on my new computer, and it exhausts me trying
to figure them out.
As for VoiceOver, I tried t

Good news: We figured out the problem: I was using Firefox, not Safari.
It works in Safari, and not Firefox.
Now, to learn the nuances.
Not tonight.
I knew it had to be something simple.
I hadn't used Safari in years, because I couldn't see anything on it.

I opened Safari.
I turned VoiceOver on.
After a dozen tries, I managed to get it onto the Bookmarks.
Somehow, as I was transferring my notes to a Pages document, it crashed,
and a low, low, grumbling male voice started speaking.
I turned off VoiceOver, closed Safari, and tried again.

No more than I am, I'm sure. When something gets stuck on a computer, the
common knowledge is to shut it down, and restart. Exactly what I was
trying to do, every time VoiceOver would get stuck and every command I
tried would just make it beep and do nothing.

Hi Shawn,
Thanks. I do have Skype. I am going to try a couple of different
things over this week, and thankfully a few people have offered to help.
If this doesn't work, maybe I need the program checked.

While in that room - Hubby and I will try the VoiceOver trainer on his Mac,
