I took a look at Skim and had more difficulty accessing pdf's than I did with Preview, although access isn't that good in Preview either from what I've seen. I think the best access to pdf documents is through Adobe Reader in Windows. You can arrow around in documents, jump to pages, and the o

Hi Veronica, Well, thanks for this. I've inadvertently activated Mission Control and am glad to get rid of it. I had two keystrokes to deal with, Control-Up and Control-Down Arrow. I could uncheck the boxes without interacting, so not sure why you had to do so, but the end result was the sam

Hi There, I only unchecked two items, Control-Up Arrow and Control-Down arrow. Veronica was correct in that any time I activated Mission Control, it related to shutting up speech and hitting one of the arrows too quickly. If it turns out other items need to be unchecked, I'll be vigilant as t
