I happen to agree with you all. Esther has been a great help to me as well as others on this list like Sarah. I am very grateful that everyone is patient and answers all of my questions.

A nice feature of item chooser menu is that you can refine your search for an item to include category. For example, if I'm using item chooser menu on a web page like the one for Applevis, and I want to find the links for their "Campaign of the Month", I can type VO-I to bring up item chooser menu, then quickly type "c a m" to filter results in the menu for elements that match those letters, then quickly type "l i n k" to further filter those results for links. If I'm looking for a button I might quickly type "b u t" instead for the second match. By then, there are only a few matches on the menu, and I can arrow down to the match and press either "Return" or use VO-Space to be taken to my selection. Remember that item chooser menu only navigates you to an element. If there's a link or button that you're trying to activate yo > u >> still need to do another VO-Space, etc. to actually press. If you decide to amend your item chooser search terms, press the "Delete" key and start typing again. Item chooser menu is a simple yet very powerful tool to help find things. >> > > <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> > > To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net > > You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: > <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> > or at the public Mail Archive: > <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/>. > Subscribe to the list's RSS feed from: > <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/maillist.xml> > > The Mac-Access mailing list is guaranteed malware, spyware, Trojan, virus and worm-free! > > Please remember to update your membership options periodically by visiting the list website at: > <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/mac-access/options/> <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> or at the public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/>.
