Hi Tiffany, If you read documents in Preview like the VoiceOver Getting Started Guide you have more navigation options. Many of these guides are created with a Table of Contents that appears in (what I think is now) the sidebar (or what was the drawer in Tiger). You can look up Chapter or section titles, and navigate directly to the pages of a long document that correspond to those entries. You can also do word term searches and get a listing of all matches with page numbers in the sidebar (or drawer), and navigate to those pages. This is often helpful in a large book when you want to know which of several sections is most likely to have the fullest description of what you want to look up -- at least for technical books.
Another thing you can do is save bookmarks to PDF documents. The key sequence is Command+d -- just the same as for Safari. Then, when you navigate to the Bookmarks menu of the Preview menu bar and select one of these bookmarks that document will open automatically in Preview and be at the page you bookmarked. You don't even need to navigate to the document in question, and this works whether or not there is a Table of Contents. Also, if you're reading long books, Preview can remember the last page you read. I think this is the default setting in Preferences, but you can set this if it isn't -- just remember to interact before starting to read. There are more features for Preview in Leopard, such as making notes. I don't have Leopard on this machine, so I can't comment. As Tim Kilburn mentioned, there are some notes about the Preview features with VoiceOver on his web pages: http://homepage.mac.com/kilburns/voiceover/preview5.html HTH, Cheers, Esther >I never really got the point of preview. the only thing I know about >it is that when I select all files in a music folder to play with VLC >Media Player and that folder has something like albumart.jpg in it, >preview shows up and annoys me.
