The answer to bot of these is to interact with the item. You can then read it word by word, or character by character. To select text, interact with the item, then press control option enter at the beginning of what you want to copy. Now move to the end of the text to copy and press control opti

Marlaina, the easiest way to deal with all of that is to simply select all on the page, plop it in a TextEdit document, and then manipulate it from there. Not pretty, but it works just fine. Teresa On Dec 16, 2010, at 9:29 AM, Marlaina Lieberg wrote: > Mike or others, > > One problem I have wi

Hi Deniese: Probably the quickest way I've found is to invoke the web roter with VO-u, and look for headers or links. Or, do Vo-f and look for the first couple words in your title. Beyond this, I'm still trying to find a better answer. A third thing you can try is Vo-i for item chooser. Then
