Oh, I should have thought of that, but the rotor never crossed my mind. Well, one more option to keep in my bag of tricks. Thanks. On 7/26/12, Rachel Feinberg wrote: > Try turning on quick nav, using the rotor to navigate to words or characters > with left and up arrow or up and right arrow. the

Try turning on quick nav, using the rotor to navigate to words or characters with left and up arrow or up and right arrow. then you can use up/down arrow to go forward or back through words or characters. On Jul 26, 2012, at 11:22 AM, Alex Hall wrote: > Hi all, > How can I spell text under th

Thanks, I did learn a lot. I also happened across a whole bunch of numpad commander commands I never knew were there. I'm going back into that menu to see what else there is! Now I just have to remember it all so I can start using it... On 26 Jul 2012, at 16:11, Anne Robertson wrote: > Hello Al

Hello Alex, To learn more about text navigation, do VO-h-h and look at the Text menu. You'll learn how to navigate by character, word, line, sentence and paragraph, as well as discovering other useful commands. Cheers, Anne On 26 Jul 2012, at 20:57, Alex Hall wrote: > I never knew that. I'm

I never knew that. I'm learning so much this week... can't wait to get my monitor plugged back in so my mac can really blaze! Serena made it much better than with Alex, plus I can turn the speed up more... A screen and Mountain Lion will be great. Okay, ramble over. On 26 Jul 2012, at 14:54, Mar

I get the vo-c and vo-w commands, which I didn't know (or had forgotten). However, if I interact with a tweet, I can't move past the first word. Is there a way I can do this? VO obviously sees the text, because it reads the first word fine with vo-w, but I can't get it to move to subsequent word

Hit reply before I was done; sorry. An interesting trick you can do when you cannot, for whatever reason, interact with or highlight a patch of text you want VO to spell, is to use the VO Shift C command to copy the last phrase to the pasteboard, then paste that into a blank TextEdit document.

One way to do this is to spell letter by letter with VO C, which can also be pressed again to give a phonetic of the letter--Tango for T, for example. VO W will do the same thing for a word the VO cursor is on. • Mark BurningHawk Baxter • AIM, Skype and Twitter: BurningHawk1969 • MSN: bur
