Jeronimo,
No need to be sorry. We all had to start sometime. Here's a quick tip that
might help. You'll find that if you use the VO keys with the arrow keys,
you'll get along just fine. When I say the "VO" keys, I mean the combination
of the control key and the option key. Those two keys pressed together in
combination with other keys will give you what you need. Here's an example
which you should find most helpful. IF you press VO+k, (that is a combination
of the control key plus the option key plus the k key), this will turn on
keyboard help. Now, with keyboard help turned on, start playing with your
keyboard. Press VO in combination with left, right, up, down arrow and other
keys. When you're done with keyboard help, just press the escape key to get
out of it. also, if you press VO+h, this will open Voice Over help; from which
point, you can choose to get help with anything related to Voice Over.
Sincerely,
The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!!!!
Now a proud Mac user!!!
