[macvoiceover] Re: NEED HELP INSTALLING MODULES FOR MACSWORD

Hi:
I am still having some trouble with Macsword. I did the installation as you suggested and I do see the table with the modules I have installed. but when I followed this from the quick start guide, "You will need to interact with the name of the translation, or, commentary you have chosen, this will bring focus to your selection. You will need to click on your selection name twice quickly with VO keys-shift- space bar." the double click only gave me the apple menu it didn't let me into the module. Any suggestions? 

Thanks so much.

Peggy, if you installed a different version from the one to which Keith gave the link, the easiest thing is first to uninstall the version you have there. 

1. In Finder, go to Applications using command-shift-a.
2. Interact with the icon scroll area and find macsword. You may be able to do this by typing Macs rather quickly. Otherwise browse with ctrl-option-rightarrow till you find it. If you've installed it correctly it's a folder; otherwise it may just be an application but since we are uninstalling it this doesn't really matter much.
3. When Macsword is selected, press command-option-backspace to send it to trash and then you can press command-option-shift-backspace and empty trash.
4. Use command-w to close your applications window. To avoid confusion, you also should trash any installation files for Macsword you have in Downloads or on your Desktop. 

5. Download the dmg file from the webpage cited by Keith.

6. Use ctrl-option-space to open the dmg file.
7. Interact with the scroll area and make sure the Macsword folder is selected; you do want the whole folder so don't open it. 

8. Do command-c to copy the folder.
9. Go to Applications using command-shift-a and paste the folder using command-v.
10. Open the Macsord folder with command-option-space and then open the Macsword application with command-option-space.
11. If you get an error about the modules not being found, press command-comma to go into Macsword preferences.
12. Check the modules path in Macsword Preferences that tells where the modules are supposed to be located. It should say ./Modules (note the period at the beginning and the capital M on Modules. If it doesn't have this for a path, write this in the field for the path.
13. Quit Macsword and restart and all should be well. For more instruction on using Macsword, get the Macsword Quick Start Guide from the Mac with Voiceover section of

If you have further problems, you are welcome to email me privately if you like. I've done this in kind of a hurry so I hope I haven't missed anything or not given you detailed enough directions.
