I did have the quick nav keys turned on so I've turned them off now and i can
read character by character again in mail which is great.
I'm having difficulty editing text in a miss spelled word. Is there an easy
way to get around this?

I think the left and right cursor keys are moving word by word because you
have quick nav turned on.

vo left and right arrow read by word and there is no way to change this.
to read by character with the vo cursor, use shift-vo-left/right arrow.
To hide thecaption pannel which is what shows the voiceover cursor
messages, go to vo utility, choose "visuals and you'll find several tabs, one
of which is "caption panel"
set it to the lowest settings for everything but transparency and 100
percent for that. You can also turn off all the other visuals in those tabs.
if you want to just turn visuals off temporarily, press vo-11.
To set cursors, go to vo utility, and choose navigation, tab through there
and uncheck checkboxes to turn off an action and check them to turn on actions.
The exception is mouse cursor, it has three positions which are "follows vo
cursor",
"ignores vo cursor" and "moves voiceover cursor". "ignores voiceover
cursor is selected by default and it should stay that way to prevent issues in
the interface.

Hi.
I've been playing around with the VoiceOver settings, and when in Mail for
example, using the left and right arrow keys is reading by word instead of
letter in a new message. Any idea if there's a default setting for VoiceOver
as I'm not sure what I changed to make that happen.
I'm also wondering if there's a way of getting rid of the VoiceOver
commands on the screen as I don't need a sighted person to see them.
I notice also that the VoiceOver cursor follows the mouse cursor and vice
versa. Should I leave them checked?
Sorry to ask so many questions. I currently use Windows with Jaws but my
Parents have a Mac and it would be good for me to get around there machine with
VoiceOver when I'm at their house.
