Hello Linda, A few useful tips about Mac applications.
To get to the menu bar for any application, press VO-m and navigate right. The first menu will be headed by the name of the application. Thereafter, you'll have the standard menus plus any extras specific to that application. To open the Preferences for any application, press Command-Comma. In the Preferences window, you should find a Toolbar. If you interact with this, you'll find the various tabs that you click on to look at and change the settings. Applications are closed with Command-Q. You can close all the windows in an application, but the app will still be running. You can hide any application by pressing Command-H. Command-Option-H will hide all other applications apart from the one you are in. Command-Shift-A opens your Applications folder. Command-Shift-H opens your Home folder. Command-Shift-O opens your Documents folder. Command-Shift-U opens your Utilities folder.
