[macvoiceover] Re: using text edit

There is no status line but there is a ruler which you can use in rich text and other documents which are not plain text documents and vo-f4 twice will tell you where you have your cursor sitting in coordinates so it is possible to work it out.
to envoke the ruller while in text edit with an rtf or other than plain text document open, press command-comma and check the ruller.

Thank you. I was able to locate text edit. Now, do you know how to find the status line? For example, when I'm writing in a document and would like to know what page and line I'm on.

Hi Candie, just locate text edit in the applications folder, and then press command shift t to put it on the dock, assuming you're using snow leopard.

Thank you
so much for the suggestions you have given me about downloading older itunes podcasts. What word processor do some of you use to create documents on the mac? So far I have been doing some experimenting with text edit. I can't seem to find the program in the dock. The only way I can locate it is by going to spotlight and searching for it that way? Does anyone know an easier way to get to it? Also, what type of font is commonly used when creating documents that will be printed out? I know I can press VO T to here the text attributes, but how do I double space a document and make sure it is definitely double spaced. I checked in the help menu to see if I could find a list of keyboard short cuts,but couldn't seem to find anything.

In keyboard commander inside vo utilities, I set up right option key

When I open an email, I press option-z and the email reads just fine 
for me.

Hope this helps!  Marcy

Yeah, I'd like to know that, too. I tend to read my email using the
read by paragraph commands, and in those messages where you'd get the pauses, VO only reads a line or two at a time, rather than the whole 
paragraph. It's a little bit frustrating.

Control Option P works great for keeping the sylables in words

Not all mail,, just some mail.
I sure wish I knew what makes some of the mail read great, 100%
perfect, just like a web page, and other messages so horribly
disjointed that it's painful to listen to.

Subject: [macvoiceover] vo putting spaces in words in Mail



This may have been discussed before I installed SL.  When reading
mail messages, Alex sometimes separates the first letter of a word from the rest of it, for example, the word thanks would be read as 
"t hanks".   Any fix for this?  Needless to say it's annoying and
never happened  with Leopard.
