iBooks question

['Larry Honaker' via MacVisionaries]

Is there a way to copy pieces of text from a purchased book in the iBooks App?

I can understand the principle of not being able to copy the entire book; 
however, if you are studying material you are trying to learn, copying small 
sections would be most helpful.

Any thoughts out there.

Numbers Question

['Larry Honaker' via MacVisionaries]

A question for the Numbers expert out there:

How can I edit a formula which has a cell reference to another sheet?

I can edit normal formulas which refer to cells on the same sheet, but I cannot 
figure out how to change the extended sheet reference in the new 
formula—VoiceOver says it ok, but I am not able to edit it.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

A couple of data locations

['Larry Honaker' via MacVisionaries]

Greetings All,

Life in the Mac world is slowly getting normalized again. 

Three questions if I may?

1. Where in the system can I see the box files which are used by Mac mail?

2. Where in the system are the podcast stored for the app Downcast. I saw that 
reference lately and cannot put my hands on it again.

3. Once upon a time there was a hidden library under the home directory of 
Users. There was a key combination while browsing in Finder which would reveal 
the directory entry.

Any thoughts are appreciated; otherwise I will start digging into the Apple

Re: an update on my Big Sur experience

['Larry Honaker' via MacVisionaries]

Things may work differently on the Intel Macs as opposed to the new M1 Macs, 
but Mike I am still able to open an app from the dock with VO+spacebar. I am 
unable to access the menu from the dock to get to the open command.

The VO command does open the app, however.

I agree that there are some serious bug issues, but I do believe we have to try 
and move forward and just keep pressure on Apple to fix the problems.

Dock issue in Big Sur

['Larry Honaker' via MacVisionaries]

Greetings All,

As several folks have reported, I have experienced the bug in Big Sur in 
regards to invoking the menu on items in the dock. I am using a new M1 
MacBookAir.

I have spent some time with Apple Support and they have provided a sort of 
workaround for this issue. It certainly is  not as convenient as the original 
VO+Shift+m; however, it works “most” of the time—and I emphasize , “most” as 
the workaround does not always open the menu for me.

Anyway, here is the workaround and it is better than nothing until they get the 
bug fixed.

1. Go to the dock with VO+d
2. Navigate to the item you wish to work with
3. Press the key combination of VO+function+Command+5 
  (VO says the name of the app you are focused on in the dock)
4. Press VO+h+H
5. Type r I (no space between the r and i)
6. VO will say right mouse click; press return
This usually opens up the menu where you can access options and other choices 
usually displayed thru the VO+Shift+m menu.

Again, not perfect but it has worked fairly reliably for me so far.

Hope this helps anyone else dealing with this issue.

Any info appreciated.
