First of all, the Save command is Command-s. In the Save dialogue box, there is a Disclosure check box just after the edit field where you give your document a name. Press VO-space to check this box and many more fields will appear. To save yourself time, press VO-Cmd-t to jump to the Sidebar, then navigate left to see where Pages is trying to put your document. You can press Cmd-Shift-o to select Documents, then navigate right, past the Sidebar, to the file browser where you can interact and select the appropriate folder. Then press VO-End to go straight to the last visible item and press VO-Space. > > > 2. Another question in pages. There are two delete keys on my keyboard.

Perhaps you'd find it easier to get used to editing on the Mac using TextEdit. <--- 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/>.
