Hi Catherine, sorry about the delay in replying but it's bad internet connection where I am at present. Anyways, there isn't any special instructions to type in a web address. Maybe just be more careful when you try it next time. Re cursor, that's definitely a confusing issue for first timers. Visit
http://maccessibility.net/guides/voiceover/insertion-point/and read the short peace about the insertion point and all will become clear. Actually the maccessibility site is generally a good source for guides and info about Apple products. I found it of a great help when I started using the iPad.

Hi both, Thanks for the link. The manual is pretty helpful but I think maybe I need someone else's experience to help with the questions I have. Where to start...well there are just a few questions to start with. 1. I have written a note. But I'm finding it difficult to know where the cursor is and therefore to edit it. Can you suggest any strategies? I mean what do you do when you want to edit a note? Either one that you're in the middle of writing or one that you wrote earlier. 2. In Safari I assumed that to open a certain web page you'd select the address field and edit it. I double tapped it and voiceover said "is editing", then I selected the "clear text" button. So then I started to type an address but after the first w it started loading the Apple page which is not where I wanted to go. Why did it do this? Was I doing something wrong? How can I go to a website by typing in the url? 3. Now Ibooks. I have tried searching for books and don't think I've done it successfully. It seems that normally when you've finished typing something and you select "go" or "search" button or whatever it happens to be, from the keyboard - it seems that the keyboard then usually disappears. But in Ibooks when I thought I had searced for something the keyboard was still there and when I touched above it somewhere voiceover said "empty list". So I suppose this means either I didn't perform a search or there were no search results to display. How can I be sure that I have searched? What is the procedure for searching? Well that'll do for starters! Be glad of any info/tips... Catherine On 9/4/10, Amro Bilal <info@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Fire away. BTW, anyone with an iPad touch or an iPhone should be able to help too as those three devices use the same platform. They are almost identical in terms of software.
