Hi Sarah, going to the toolbar is a way that you can get at the send button, but there is a nice shortcut which saves a lot of steps, and that is command shift d. So when you want to send an email, you can hit command shift d to send. I was using the toolbar to hit the forward button for the longest time, and then I was going through the menus one time, and found that the forward option had a shortcut of command shift f, so have been using that ever since. Hope this helps to make your mac experience better.

Hi all!
This is Sara writing from the Mac. smile
I shut down Windows yesterday to do some maintenance such as updating, backing up, and that sort of stuff. Guess what? I never rebooted the VM. I have been using the Mac since early yesterday and am still alive. lol There are one or two websites that are absolutely not working with VO but those use flash so I guess no go. I wonder does VO have a way of marking an area on the screen so I can put my mouse there and click in the same spot? The flash buttons I need to click are always in the same spot. Now about toolbars. If you get to a program and you want to find the most important functions of that program, try interacting with the toolbar usually near the zoom and close buttons. You can press VO right and left arrows to move around through the buttons once you have interacted with the toolbar. It works 99% of the time but I have seen a few programs where the toolbars just contain unlabeled stuff but mostly you get obvious stuff for example, after I type this message I will go to the toolbar for the send button. Well, I am going to keep these reports short so that's it for this one.
