Hi folks, I have what I hope is not a stupid question. If one is editing text on the Mac, why would one want the text to speak to the right of the cursor? The only way I can figure this out, is if one were editing characters from a misspelled word. When I used Windows, along with magic screen magnification and it's jaws counterpart, everything that I wrote was to the left of the cursor. Also, does it matter which mode one is in an Quicknav to make this work Thanks for your help. correctly?

Now I see the logic, as it hadn't clicked what was going on before my post. Nice to know I can change it if I can't get used to it. It won't be long before I completely switch. Thanks again.
