Re: The switch from Microsoft to Apple

[Sabahattin Gucukoglu]

OS X is decidedly the technically superior OS, but alas, I am back to running 
with the herd now, despite the inconveniences and compromises that you 
naturally get in exchange for the over-promised and under-delivered features 
and customisation in Windows, and contrary to the bizarre idea that a platform 
is simply better because you can do more with it.  OS X is simply a more 
enjoyable, seamless and satisfying environment than Windows will ever be, and 
is built on a rock-solid foundation that you can exploit to full potential if 
you desire.  Unfortunately, the pleasures of OS X will be no more for me at the 
point where Apple stops supporting Mountain Lion, assuming no further 
developments of technical merit, innovation of the screen reader, or concern 
for the advanced user.  My MacBook now runs Windows 7 exclusively, as that's 
simply the better choice across the board now for me, and I only run OS X 
Mountain Lion on this iMac 2011 because I can do so and still get the best 
value from it and many OS X apps.  I also, no doubt about it, relish in what I 
consider to be one of Apple's finer releases, after a fairly shaky start, and 
will miss it terribly when finally I have to abandon it.  All my other needs 
are taken care of by Linux, running in virtual machines; I've even converted my 
home Mac Mini server into a Linux box.  And I now have a ChromeBook, to 
experiment with the future of cloudy clients.

Having said all that, please choose your platforms objectively and don't simply 
run one platform or another in order to conform, because you just lose out in 
the end if you restrict yourself.  There are lots of people I hear of who are 
on Windows XP running on metal, who absolutely should be using OS X, because 
they will never go to Win7 to save themselves.  I'll gladly get them using OS 
X, and they get to keep their classic Start menu and working apps, especially 
gaming and Office, in a XP VM.  Otherwise, virtualisation is a thing, so use it 
to give yourself access to even more apps on the same machine when it's 
convenient, in Windows or, if you're feeling plucky, Linux.  Such a pity OS X 
cannot be virtualised, outside of OS X itself, without going down shady routes.

JMO, of course.

Re: The switch from Microsoft to Apple

[Anne Robertson]

Hello Eileen,

Label prints are best done from Contacts where you can select a whole group of 
addresses to be printed. The instructions are in my previous message.

The only thing that Pages brings to envelopes is little logos to make them more 
decorative. I prefer plain and simple which is what you get using Contacts.

Cheers,

Anne

Hello Phil,

The step-by-step instructions are below my signature. For printing labels, 
select Labels instead of Envelopes in the Style popup menu.

Cheers,

Anne

Use Contacts to address envelopes.
Put required cards into a special group for the current task.

• Put the selected card or cards into a new group;
• Press Command-P to bring up the Print dialogue;
• Navigate to the last visible item (VO-End) then go left twice. If you find 
Show Details button, click it;
• Go to the first visible item (VO-Home) and navigate down to Style;
• Go right to the pop up button;
• Pop it and select "Envelopes" if it is not already saying "Envelopes";
• Navigate right to Layout and select it;
• Navigate right past the other two tabs and click the button to the right of 
where it says "layout" again;
• Navigate down the menu, past Save as, delete and so on, until you find either 
International envelopes or North American Envelopes submenu;
• Select the appropriate envelope type;
• Navigate right to see the exact dimensions of the envelope, the position and 
size of the recipient's address panel (how far from top, how far from left and 
how big);
• Continue to navigate right, past the field telling you the number of 
addresses selected and the zoom slider and you'll find the position and size of 
the Sender address panel;
• Use the Item Chooser menu to locate the Label tab and select it;
• Navigate right to the checkbox "Print my address", clear this checkbox if you 
don't want your address to appear on the envelope;
• Navigate right to the address category pop up button and select the one you 
want to send from (Home, Work, etc.);
• Navigate right to the Addresses pop up button where you select the category 
of address for the recipient(s);
• To the right again, you select the print order (alphabetical or Postal Code);
• Continuing right, you can select to print your company name, the recipient's 
company name, both or neither;
• To the right again, the same thing for country as for company;
• To the right again, you select font colour (default black);
• Now use the Item Chooser menu to select the Orientation tab;
• The first checkbox to the right shows the printing to be perpendicular to the 
feed direction of the envelope, and the second checkbox shows it to be parallel;
• You can now print your envelope.

Fortunately, Contacts remembers the settings for next time!

Hi!

OK you can solve that one by selecting all those tracks of that album and 
choosing get info and under details put the main artist name in the album 
artist field!

Then all tracks will be put into the same album!

And you can leave all the track artists as multi name people!

Like Barbra Streisand, Duets, I’ve got all the guest artists listed with her on 
each track and her name as album artist!

I workaround the lack of the ability to open folders with a specific app. For 
sound in this case I use the free VLC Media Player from

 <http://www.videolan.org/> www.videolan.org

I then press command-o which is a standard Mac OS X shortcut to open a file or 
folder of files. I select my sound folder, press return, and VLC will make a 
playlist with those sound files for me. Think of this as the Winamp on steroids 
for Mac OS X. There is VLC Media Player for Windows, but accessibility leaves a

Hi Ann,

I did forget to include creating labels with Pages" If there are temtplates for 
envelopes, I assume there are templates for creating labels. Is that correct? 
Maybe I need to look at Pages more carefully and see if I can work with it in 
creating documents similar in Word. Thanks for setting me straight. 

Best,

Re: The switch from Microsoft to Apple

Ann, Can you elaborate on printing envelopes via Contacts? I had no idea this 
could be done. Envelopes is about the only reason I use MS Word anymore and I’d 
really like to be able to do this on the mac side more readily.

Hi!
OK you can solve that one by selecting all those tracks of that album and 
choosing get info and under details put the main artist name in the album 
artist field!
Then all tracks will be put into the same album!
And you can leave all the track artists as multi name people!
Like Barbra Streisand, Duets, I’ve got all the guest artists listed with her on 
each track and her name as album artist!

Re: The switch from Microsoft to Apple

[Anne Robertson]

Hello Eileen,

For printing envelopes, Pages has a number of templates, but I prefer to use 
Contacts for this as it’s much more flexible.

When it comes to header styles, there are 3 levels provided by default, but you 
can define as many as you like. You can set up to 8 short cuts for paragraph 
styles. Unfortunately, the latest update to Pages broke the accessibility of 
the menus to set short cuts. It can still be done, but requires a certain 
amount of dexterity with the track pad, or the use of Mouse Keys.

Cheers,

Anne

Hi all,   at the risk of getting my head bitten off I still prefer 
window's at this time.  I am having so many problems getting my blue

I workaround the lack of the ability to open folders with a specific
app. For sound in this case I use the free VLC Media Player from

www.videolan.org <http://www.videolan.org>

I then press command-o which is a standard Mac OS X shortcut to open a
file or folder of files. I select my sound folder, press return, and VLC
will make a playlist with those sound files for me. Think of this as the
Winamp on steroids for Mac OS X. There is VLC Media Player for Windows,
but accessibility leaves a lot to be desired in my personal opinion. So
I use Winamp on the Windows side.

Re: The switch from Microsoft to Apple

[Yuma Antoine Decaux]

Hi all,

I wanted to dive in on this conversation.

Since I got the mac back 6 years ago, I have exclusively used voice over. With 
tries and certain frustrations with android, but the latter device has its own 
potential. Huge one in fact.

Back to the mac. Since the inception of voice over device non specific, voice 
over has allowed everyone to access applications on the creative side used by 
the same machines.

And one big adbvantage for quite a few of us, I tend to think, is that it is 
unix based. This allows for the mac voice over system, layer on top of layer on 
top of unix, reads very well on different command line tools, developer apps, 
x-code etc. It can’t be easier to connect to linux in all its flavours, and 
machine code can be equally interpreted. The graphics issue is algorithmic. 
There is no visual perception algorithms in any of voice over. Which I tend to 
hope Apple is working on, though I’m not 100% sure at this moment.

I also found a windows executable wrapper wine while searching for multi 
processing and memory reading. This effectively allows us to connect into the 
function calls interpreted by the mac. Which makes both platforms very 
synbiotic. They both have a history that I will not mention or detail now.

Here are what is still missing in voice over:
-The capability to listen to the personal account server protecting your media, 
images, projects, work, pictures, etc. Mirrorring or duplications are made at 
Apple and we have no idea what it does and where it goes, and everything is 
collected en masse. It’s truly frightening but its still something a few 
companies like Apple or Google advocate. One less before in the current under 
tinges coming out of that head office. In the name of freedom.
-Connectivity apps between server and iphone for voice over specific use. 
Developers I’m sure you’re on it. Me too. For this, I thank Apple.
-A true 3D audio dimension that takes out of gfx algorithms and can be zero 
summed with full GFX (GFX being more of the layers that compose the phone’s 
graphics engine.
-A series of blind community connectivity worldwide that allows a large number 
of individuals to play World of Warcraft, or audio training games for those 
early in the notion of sound. using voice over’s engine.
-
A semantics algorithm that picks up through the microphone an individual’s 
words, clicks, phonemes in fast or slow, sky’s the limit, then acts upon 
various tasks recorded in advance. Scripting can be applied to this. As modules 
beyond, our macs, those home servers we have are capable of providing so much

Hello,

Unless I missed something when I downloaded a trial of Pages, I didn't see any 
method on how to print an envelope or labels. I am self employed and need to 
send originals via snail mail. Also, when I prepare training materials, I use 
various level style headers and I don't think I saw that in Pages when I was 
giving it a test drive. If there are solutions to the above tasks mentioned 
above in Pages, I'm game to look at the app again. I'm keeping my fingers 
crossed on MS Office 2015 for the Mac to be accessible to the visually 
impaired.

Re: The switch from Microsoft to Apple

I know this will not help, and it may be too late for some, but I read 
somewhere, probably on this list, that it is hoped that the 2015 version of 
Microsoft Office released later on in the year will be accessible on this 
platform. Outlook already is in its 2011 form so Microsoft must be making a 
good start.

Re: The switch from Microsoft to Apple

[denise avant]

What is needed is an accessible version for MS Word on the Mac. Many of us must 
use word for work and school, and need to be able to use it on the MAC.
I wonder why we can't get Microsoft to commit to giving an accessible version 
as it has done on the IOs platform?

Re: The switch from Microsoft to Apple

[Phil Halton]

I keep Windows 7 alive on my mac through fusion for exactly those reasons, web 
vysem and the occasional Microsoft Word use.
Although, more and more, I'm getting away from word and doing all my work 
processing and TextEdit followed by some final format work in pages.there's no 
shame in using Windows, Take advantage of everything you can to get what you 
need done.

Re: The switch from Microsoft to Apple

good going! I made the switch rather forcefully because my Windows pc was 
almost dead. I was running xp and would’ve had to get a new pc in order to run 
windows 7. the only thing agrivating me so far is that I can’t use “open with” 
for sound folders, only for files. I kind of miss webvisum in Firefox too.

Re: The switch from Microsoft to Apple

[Eileen Misrahi]

I agree with you. The only reason I open the Windows side is for the Office 
suites. I have tried the iWorks suite for the Mac, but it doesn't offer me the 
vast options in Word to mark up a document. JMO.

Re: The switch from Microsoft to Apple

I will also use both systems as I do a lot of productivity stuff on the windows 
side. Although this area within OS X is improving, it is still not at the level 
of office on the PC.

Re: The switch from Microsoft to Apple

Me neither. I still like some voices that you can't get on the Mac like Ivona 
and Neospeech, particularly James. Though Ivona keeps promising that they are 
working on bringing their voices to the Mac, I'll believe it when I see it. I 
think that all of us who like their voices should keep bothering them to make 
their voices for Mac like I have for the past couple of years. Emails, tweets, 
whatever. It has to be done if we want our voices heard.

The switch from Microsoft to Apple

Hi all,
Well I have some excellent news! I did it! I have switched to Mac and iOS 
devices full time! Haven't used my Windows laptop since New Year and haven't 
even used Windows in a virtual machine created with Vmware Fusion at all 
yesterday! Anyway just thought to let you know I have made the switch.
