Re: How do i get rid of the preview pane in Mail?

I think our reason is to avoid marking a message as read just by moving over them without opening them. This happens when preview pane is turned on. I, for one, can't get this thing turned off and it is one of the more annoying issues I have with Mail and VoiceOver on the Mac. Daniel Den

Question: How to get to mail tokens

Hi, I bought the iWork suite a couple of years ago. I didn't manage to update Pages just after upgrading my Mac OS to Mavericks. Does anyone know of a manual way to do this so I don't have to purchase the apps again through the App store? Note that I bought them before the App store came to

Controlling language on IPod Touch

Well, except for the times when I have to do some serious word processing tasks, I'm enjoying my Mac as well. But so far, I have not had much luck with VoiceOver when it comes to announcing styles (heading 1, 2, etc) and so forth in neither TextEdit nor Iworks Pages. It just tells me the name and

Spelling buttons without interacting

Hi, Apparently, some buttons can't be interacted with e.g. in ITunes. I therefore wonder how to go over the text of the button letter by letter instead of just doing the vo+w command for spelling the word. I think this issue also applies to other elements. What they all have in common is that t
