Linda, I totally forgot about Command + (accent) ` yes this is a very good way to cycle through open windows, quicker then VO+F2, although pressing F2 twice reads out the title of the current window and the title of the other open windows when moving the cursor keys up and down. That is what I love about the Mac, there are so many ways to do the same task which enables you to find a way that suits you instead of being forced to do it one way only.
