David - Yes, VO speaks the character the cursor is going over regardless of
direction, but when I want to delete a character, I keep finding I am
deleting the one in front of the one I want to delete, or the one after, the
same when I want to insert a character. But I probably in the main agree
with you and Anne, that it is best to get use to how it works. I'm certainly
not one that would want to Windowsify OS X, or JAWSIFY VO -

I agree that you should try and get used to the Mac way of doing things.
I
to found it confusing to begin with but you do get the hang of it
eventually. Once you understand that all that happens is that Voiceover
speaks the character the cursor passes over, irrespective of the direction
it is going in this is fine. The problem is that if you try to make the
Mac
behave like windows and Jaws is that you get complications when trying to
use other keystrokes. In particular the commands to the end of a line
behaved unpredictably and you were not always where you thought you were.
This does not happen with voiceover and Mac default settings.

Hello Andy,
You can change the way the insertion point works to be more like JAWS in
VoiceOver Utility, Verbosity, Text, When moving the cursor: click the
button
and select Speak text to the right of the cursor.
Personally, I like the standard Mac way of doing things which is that the
insertion point is to the right of what you just heard when navigating to
the right, and to the left of what you just heard when navigating to the
left. This seems logical to me.
Cheers,
Anne

Hi all -
At the moment, the way things are set up is confusing me when I am
trying to edit text in mail or Text Editor. When I try to delete a
character, or correct a spelling manually, I'm fiddling about trying
to get the focus on the right character to delete. All too often, I
find the wrong character has been deleted, because the insertion point
[if that's the correct term for it] is focussed somewhere else in the
word than where I expect it to be. How/where do I look to change this,
so it works in the more familiar way I'm use to from using JAWS? -
