Thanks for your reply, Recardo. My goal is to upgrade, but unfortunately, this machine is not going to be suitable for doing so. I am doing what I can to save up the necessary funds for a new mac down the road. Thanks! Jenny -- You received this message because you are subscribed to

I remember in 10.5, voice over would work that way. You would interact with the heading to see the link. In 10.6, you can simply click the link. On Oct 2, 2010, at 8:28 PM, Eric Oyen wrote: that's weird. mine does the same thing, but all are clickable. of course, I am using SL 10.6.4.

Hi Jenny! Try hitting VO-Space on the heading. The link should be contained within the heading. My VoiceOVer announces Heading Level 2 Link. At least, that's how Google usually should work. That way, you vcan jump from result to result by heading with VO-COmmand-H. Regards, Nic Mobile Me:

Thanks for the response. While I am familiar with how to activate a link, the problem appears to be that Safari simply doesn't seem to recognize the area I need to activate as a link. Therefore, using VO +space does nothing. I don't know, seeing as how not many people are familiar with

Hi Nic, Well, the odd thing is, the headers never say link. They do announce themselves as headings, but nothing more. That is to say, it will say heading level 3, followed by the name of the heading, but it's not clickible at all. Jenny -- You received this message because you are

Yes, You need to interact with the headers in order to activate the links in your google search. I really recommend upgrading to Snow Leopard 10.6. Your really missing out on a lot of functionality in terms of getting around the web. It would be $30 well spent in my opinion. hth On Oct 2,
