Re: Fusion Driving me Crazy

[Sarah Alawami]

You will copy the app in to the app folder and then run it. It will then ask 
you to set up and you let it do that. then you put in your serial key which can 
be found on your cd package.

Take care.

Re: Help with fonts and styles on Bean

[Sarah Alawami]

I think center is still cmd shift backslash. and there is a vo keystroke that 
will let you see what is what but I'm drawing a blank. I'm still learning bean 
btw.

Re: Help with fonts and styles on Bean

Across the Mac, using VO T will give you font information.

Again this is not just a command for Beam but will work across the Mac.. Having 
said that I have just tried it in this mail message and although Voiceover 
announced centred when I did it VO T in this instance just gives the font 
information so it may not had worked.

I have never used styles with a word processor so I am afraid somebody else wil 
have to help you with this.

Re: Help with fonts and styles on Bean

[James AUSTIN]

Hi margaret,

I'm afraid i don't use Bean, so I can't answer your specific Bean question, but 
here are the answers to  your other questions.

> How do you centre text?
On OS X, the command is Command+Shift+Backslash

> How do you find out if text has gott some sort of font, style,,
> centre, bold etc?   I mean by this question is thatt in windows you
> can use a shortcut key which tells you if the text is bolded etc.

You can accomplish this in at least two ways:

1. Press VO+V to bring up the  VoiceOver Verbosity  menu.
2. Press left or right arrow (whichever you prefer), to cycle until you hear  
"adjust text attributes".
3. Use the up or down arrow to make your selection and press Enter/Return.

If you've chosen to have VoiceOver speak the text attribute, then you're good 
to go. If however you've chosen to play a tone, then do the following to find 
out the text attribute:

1. When you hear the tone that signifies the new text attribute, after 
interacting with the "edit text" if you've not done so already, press VO+T on 
the appropriate word etc and VoiceOver will announce the change.

I hope this is helpful.

Warmest wishes 
J

Help with fonts and styles on Bean

[Margaret Booth]

I   have just downloaded Bean and I havve worked out how to
bold,italic and underline text but I have a few questions which are.

How do you centre text?
How do you use thee style option in the font menu?
How do you find out if text has gott some sort of font, style,,
centre, bold etc?   I mean by this question is thatt in windows you
can use a shortcut key which tells you if the text is bolded etc.

I hope you understand what I mean.

Thanks!

Fusion Driving me Crazy

[Matthew Chao]

Hi, Folks.  I realize this has been dealt with a few times, but I'm still 
having trouble with VmWare Fusion.  Two questions:

First, I'm using version 3.x.  Can I upgrade to version 4.1, or do I need to go 
through version 4 before upgrading to 4.10?

Second, I have the dmg file for 4.10.  Do I mount it as a disk image, and/or 
how do I open it?  Then where do I go from there?  

Thanks in advance.

Re: Keyboard Shortcuts for Skype on the Mac

[Sarah Alawami]

Actually they work just fine. I find I don't need many keyboard shortcuts as I 
can assign them myself through the prefs and customize the way I want skype to 
be.. I could even if i wanted to change the cmd shift h to something else. So 
just because skype does not have all of these fancy stuff for navigation does 
not mean it is not accessible. I use this all the time for communicating with 
family and friends and clients when the time comes.

Take care.

Re: back with more questions apple mail

[Laurie Mehta]

VO says blank because there is a blank space on the line where the graphic for 
unread message would be. This blank means that your message is not an unread 
message. If it was an unread message, the line would be read, beginning with  
the word unread. 

I do not find this to be a problem, personally. To me it means that VO is 
reading out all of the information that is available to seeing users. /smile/

Re: Keyboard Shortcuts for Skype on the Mac

Hi, All!  That's exactly what I was looking for.  Too bad Skype's so 
inaccessible.  Facebook's not much better, either.  So, the major 
social networking tools we want to use work sort of haphazardly or 
not at all.  Just my opinion.

Re: skype notifications

[michael weaver]

i keep trying to set the choice to contact is available but every 
time i exit skype and relaunch skype, the choice i select in 
notifications is set back to announcing "you have signed in" like 
it is not saving my preferences properly.
i have checked the box for speak text and that has saved so i am 
not sure what the problem is.

From: Sarah Alawami 

Yep that's the way to do it.  Available is online, or I think 

also away.  I can't remember but I think  availiable is online.


Take care.

i am running version 5 of skype on my macbook.
however i appear to get a cluttered screen when i launch it like 
all the important stuff seems to be hidden like it is bringing up 
html pages on launch so it is like i keep having to stop 
interacting, try and locate the table and interact with that and 
try and access my contacts by doing something like down arrow to 
locate the nearest contact because voiceover doesn't seem to want 
to focus.
i notice in previous versions of skype that the cursor would get 
stuck in html content after i had been on a call so i would 
sometimes have to exit skype altogether in order to get back to 
my contacts because shortcut keys wouldn't take me back to the 
right screen but it looks like the latest version seems to be a 
bit more problematic in this area unless i am doing something 
wrong when it comes to focusing on an important part of the 
screen in skype with voiceoverddy

Re: editing playlists

[Ian Harrison]

Hi,

thanks for the tip about command and l. It sort of works as long as you 
uninteract after each instance and then re interact. If you don't do that , the 
cursor stays on the last song you went to.

passport

[william lomas]

hi all can i use image scan to take a photo of the front cover of my 
passport for a job application?
i guess sighted people don't need it OCR they just read the image do they?
the job application is asking me to attach the scanned document of my passport, 
the front cover and biometric pages, so I assume i just use image capture
