Hi Colin, Marvellous, thank you. I wonder how you discovered that keystroke in the first place? It's a pity the manual doesn't mention it, at least I haven't found it so far and it should be mentioned in the section about the extras. So glad I have this helpful list to call on. Thanks, Catheri

Hi VoiceOver does not work within your virtual machine. you need your usual assistive tools. But I personally would not recommend Parallels, as it isn't VoiceOver-Friendly at all so you wouldn't be able to configure the interface. Nor would I recommend Boot Camp, as that would be wasteful an
