Shortcuts to websites
Hi all, I used to have directions for creating shortcuts for websites on my desktop. I think that must have been lost when my White macbook died.

Re: Checklist or todo list app
I will look at sorting. I did find the solution for editing the date and time. After interacting, use the VO keys and arrow keys to select the data. I need to get in the habit of using VO hints.

Set Table name in Numbers
For anyone interested in trying this, I have written a small script that will enable vo users to set the name of a table in numbers. To use it, you would just tab to a table on the active sheet and run the script. A dialog will come up where you can type a new name. I’m using the selection range of a table to determine if it has been selected. I’ve seen it fail only once after many trys. So, it seems to work pretty well. The selection range method seems to be the weak part, but it was all I could come up with to tell which table is selected. Would like to hear any other ideas on this..

Re: track changes in an RTF?
It might be possible just to save the RTF document in Word format then open it in Pages. Cheers, Anne On 20 Feb 2015, at 21:44, David Griffith daj.griff...@gmail.com wrote: I am afraid this is not correct. Pages does not directly support rtf files, though I agree that this is surprising. See http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202227 http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202227 You can of course copy and paste text from an rtf file in TextEdit to Pages. In terms of the original question I suspect that this has to be opened in a version of Word somewhere and re saved as a Word document and then the track changes may be available to Pages. I believe that this may be possible in the Mac version of Office, as even though the edit content is currently inaccessible I understand the menu system is accessible.

Re: Reading columns in pdfs
I hope that someone can advise of an easier and cheaper solution for this but when encountering this problem I use a method on windows but in theory should also work on the Mac side but I have not tried it. The only really accessible way of getting access to columns or tables in PDF documents in my experience is to convert them into Word or web htm Documents and the best application for that on the Windows side for layout preservation was Abbey Finereader Pro, which whilst converting by OCR did a good job of preserving layout. I think your best hope is that Abbey interprets it as a table rather than a column. Columns are typically read in a column like a newspaper article which is presumably what you do not want. On the Mac side I also have Abbey Finereader Pro and theoretically it should also, being based on the same recognition engine do a similar job of preserving layout but I have not tried a PDF with columns and tables on the Mac as I am used to doing this task in Windows. On the Mac I would suggest that trying to export the result from Abbey Finereader in web htm format so that Safari could read the document might be your best bet, or possibly Pages can cope with a word processing format with columns. Pages is supposed to work with tables with Voiceover so there is some hope that it might cope with columns as well. You might need to experiment.

Re: Numbers
Per prior message, found a way to copy a formula down a column, still having issues making names for ranges work and now can’t for the life of me find a way to add a pivot-table.

Re: Creating a signature in mail in Yosemite
Hello. Creating a signature in Yosemite 1. Open mai preferences with command comma. 2. You will be automatically interacting with the toolbar. VO space or double tap on the trackpad on the signatures button. 3. Stop interacting with the toolbar. 4. You see a table with all signatures and then signatures you can create for each of your mail accounts. 5. Go to either All signitures or the desired account. 6. You will see a second table which will be empty. This will be where your signatures will appear. 7. Press the add button. You can call this signature whatever you would like. By default, the signatures will be called signatures number 1, 2 3 etc. 8. Once done, you can check a box that allow you to use the signatures above quoted texts. I hope this was helpful.

Hi there When I want to paste a whole bunch of things in, it's pretty easy. I go up to the text I want to copy and press command see.then I go down to the empty sale and press the shift key and start going down arrow until I have selected all the ones I want. The other thing I have done is to press shift command down arrow to select I'll cThe whole column. Then I just press command V. There may be other ways to do it, but that's the way I have been doing it. You can also press command shift right arrow to select all the way to the end of the rope.

Calendar Suggestion
Hello everyone, Does anyone know of a good voiceover accessible calendar program that will work great with Google Calendar, my iCloud calendar, and Omni Focus? iCal is okay, but I am seeking something that will provide a comprehensive view of events, and reminders quickly. I know some on this list are using Fintastical, so will this calendar alternative accomplish what I am wanting? Moreover, a calendar alternative that makes it easy to input data is equally ideal.
