Thereis also a fairly secure way of keeping your place in the
document, using hotspots. Hotspots are temporary for as long as you
have a document open in a particular session. They are like bookmarks
and you set them by pressing vo+shift plus a number 1 through to 0 in
the top row of your keyboard. you probably need to interact with the
text first though. When you tab away and then back to your document,
press vo+ the number to which you have previously assigned your
hotspot and voiceover will announce line number and word on which you
land. I know this due to a kind explanation of Esther's and other
people on the list. Previously, I didn't know how hotspots work. I
find them useful in Preview, and I will try them in other
applications. For permanent results, you need to explore bookmarks
which you can also set in Preview although I haven't played with them
before. There probably will be more info and Esther's original message
in the discuss archive.
Take care Everett. Simon

Good evening,
There are three significant feature enhancements that I believe are
necessary in Voiceover. I have sent these requests to [email protected]
and would strongly encourage you all to send in a message as well
supporting these requests. I would also love it if you could
forward this message to any Voiceover users that you know who do
not read this list.
1. Configuration options that are configurable on a per-application
basis.
2. The ability to move from one window to another (for example
Preview to Mail) and have VO remember where you wre in the original
document when you return.
3. The ability to skip the current sentence or paragraph while VO
is in continual reading mode.
Thanks,
Everett
