Hello Kaz Before I go any further, I strongly encourage you to use the list archives pages. You will find a great deal of the information there. You can find the archive page at: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net> There's also our own archive but for the moment I think you'll find that one more than sufficient. Of course, this does not prohibit you from asking questions, not at all. I'm just trying to save you time and effort.
Despite what some of the so-called accessibility gurus biased towards Windows would have you believe, there is a great deal of merit in browsing the Internet with VoiceOver and Safari. Edit boxers just work as you find them, no need to press enter on them as you would with, for instance, Window-Eyes. In fact, when I go back to that application it makes me wonder how on earth I ever used it! I hope you get your use out of the Mac and I urge you to think about acquiring the "Take Control" series of books which have a great deal of information regarding how you use a Mac. If you want to know more about these titles, which we offer at an 80 percent discount to our members, feel free to write to us off list, <supp...@mac-access.net>. Also, if you press "Command+Control+Option+F8", you'll be placed into the "VoiceOver Quick-start" guide. That will give you the basics of VoiceOver usage, at least, enough to give you the concepts of using VoiceOver. VoiceOver differs from many Windows-based screen-reading applications in as much as it presents you with a webpage in a similar way to that which those with vision get. This differs from the molly-coddling approach which they take under Windows with the "MSAA" environment. Feel free to come back with any further questions at any time. I am sure the list members will make you feel welcome. But speaking on behalf of the list owners, (myself and Lynne), welcome to Mac Access and, more importantly still, welcome to the world of Mac. Once you get over the differences you'll never go back! Gordon On 7 Aug 2012, at 21:38, Karen Burgess <karen7...@talktalk.net> wrote: Very new to the Mac and looking for some basic help. If I'm using safari are their basic key strokes I can use for getting around web pages? For example how do I easily find where I need to type in a web address? Also, how do I easily find an edit box to type something in and things like a submit button etc. This is all very new to me so any help will be greatly appreciated. <--- 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/>.
