I wish I did, but unfortunately don’t have the money to shell out for the KNFB reader app. On top of that, I just figured out that 2 of these documents I was sent were png files, so am stumped as to what to do with them, let alone how or why someone would send me a scanned document in that

Ray, Apparently you are blissfully unaware of the recent thread that has gone way off topic? Kawal alluded to this thread in an effort to bring things back on a positive note. Why did you respond to her and not take a stand against the off topic thread? (smiles) From E.T.'s Keyboard. . .

Hi there, Speaking for myself, I can share that those fishing e-mails are likely not due to your being a member here, but due to icloud. Hackings in general are producing allot of these. I get them asking about my apple id, and I am not that kind of apple user. Simply follow practical wisdom.

Re: Apple Accessibility is great.

Kawal, What causes you to think we want to “slag Apple off”? Surely, you are aware that most of us here use Macs and other Apple products with a fairly high degree of personal and professional satisfaction. As for the e-mail you mentioned, surely, you are aware that this was a spam e-mail

I generally use numpad 6 to read forward by a grouping / paragraph. This does not work in all e-mails, but is more controlled then the read-all commands. Note, that numbed-6 by default is just VO command "move right" which is the same as right arrow with the quicknav on. Best Wishes, Jonathan

Hello Nancy, When focused on one of the tables, go to the Formatter and select Arrange. In the scroll area, check that the object is not set to move with text which I suspect is your problem. If you change it to stay on page, it should work better for you. Cheers, Anne > On 25 Apr 2017,
