nice that we can though. What do those without assistive technology do?

Good evening,
Thank for the info.
I don't really think that I should have to do anything special for an
application to remember where I last was when I leave and return.
Thanks,
Everett

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

Actually, the second one is already available. If maintaining the
same place is important to you, turn off cursor tracking.

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
