Hello all,
Am I missing something or the in-page links do not really work in Snow Leopard
with Voiceover? It seems that VO detects such links as links, however, does not
do anything when you click on them.
Any idea on what's going on here?
Thanks,

Hi.
It works for me on most websites. I press Vo command f5 to move the mouse to
the VOiceover cursor, and then the text or extra links pops up to the right.
What website are you having issues with?

Some are suggesting that the Apple usage is a mere bump in the Windows road.
Quite a bump, I would say.
Congratulations on the list and on Apple's accessibility commitment and

This revolves around the function key and the arrow keys. Function left and
right arrow is home and end, and function up and down is page up and page down,
hopefully I'm not getting those mixed up.

To configure the function keys, open system preferences, and choose keyboard.
Check the option to use the function keys for normal software functions, then
they will work as expected.

Hi Kimber:
Sorry: should have been more clear about that. When using a laptop, the arrows
in conjunction with the FN key at the bottom left of the keyboard perform these
functions: with fn up and down arrows being pageup and pagedown, and fn left
and right arrows being home and end. Sometimes,

Christine,
Editing on a Mac using VoiceOver is different than using Windows and a windows

how the cursor behaves. Not sure about the characters in the document, but
