Re: VO navigation help

2010-06-12 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Cathy,

There are lots of text navigation commands in VoiceOver but you must interact 
with the text for them to work.

VO-a does read from current position and VO-b reads from the beginning. 
However, you can read by sentence and by paragraph, too.

You can also go to next colour change, or next attribute change, next 
misspelled word, and so on.

You can find all these commands by doing VO-h twice and looking through the 
Text menu.

Remember that you can always lock the VO keys with VO-semicolon to reduce the 
number of keys you need to hold down.

Cheers,

Anne

 Hi All,
 What do people do when using VO to read a long document and want to skip
 ahead, start in the middle of a page, or return to reading it where they
 left off?  Someone suggested I hit shift VO up-arrow to get out of
 interacting with the text, then use the find a string of text or go-to a
 particular page commands followed by VO-shift down arrow to interact with
 the text again.  This strikes me as cumbersome for doing something so basic.
 Is there a better option, such as a command that tells it to read from the
 cursor forward?  (The in-depth manual says to use VO-A, but this always
 takes me back to the beginning.)
 
 Thanks, Cathyk

Try first interacting with the document (VO-shift-down-arrow) and then the VO-A 
keys to read from the cursor position.
