HI, First I want to thank everyone again for their help with my getting voiceover up and running on my new IMac. Being a newbie I'm sure these questions have been asked before so bare with me. I'm so excited about learning this new system it is killing me. <smile> Can someone tell me what the best configuration settings for voiceover which will make it work best with snow leopard? I know I read something somewhere which told about a few settings that need to be changed or set. Lastly, this is probably a stupid question but here it goes anyway. Why is it necessary to interact with certain elements on the screen? Like with the menu bar, why can't you just move left and right and up and down without interacting with it first? What things need to be interacted with first? Thanks in advance for your expert help. Tony
