Hmmm, that's how I'm opening the utilities. I see a "General" as the first
item in the table, but the only things there are the login greeting and what to
do when portable preferences are detected. Under verbosity, i only get the two
tabs, text and announcements. Don't know what's going on here!

Hello,
The general tab is only available if you open the VoiceOver utility with
VO-F8.

Hi Dan, David & all,
I'm not seeing a general tab under verbosity, only a text tab and an
Announcements tab. You guys must be talking about Snow Leopard, which, of
course, I don't have yet! <smile>
I'll just set text attributes change to "do nothing" till my SL arrives.
Thanks,
Russell

Hello,
You need to go to the VoiceOver menu and select verbosity and under
the general tab, select the medium pop-up option. You won't find this
when using the VO-V command.

Hey Keith,
I just tried this and it works quite well. When a word is italic
VO says "Italic" and when it finished reading the word, it says,
"plain". The only problem is now as I am typing this email, the
font attributes are constantly being read to me, even though
they're not changing. I keep hearing, "12 point Helvetica black on
black" This is very annoying. Is this fixed in SL?
Thanks,
Russell

Hi Russell,
Yes this works quite well in textedit.
Do the following,
In verbosity, click on the text tab.
Next, VO-right arrow to where it says, when text atributes change
and with the pop up button select, speak atribute.
It will give you lots of information about your document.
You can open word files in TextEdit.

Hi Sara,
I've had limited success with the word processor in Open
Office. The reason I say limited is that I haven't found a way
to get VO to tell me whether text is formatted as bold, italic,
or underlined, or whether text has a heading style. I did the
minutes for a meeting using Open Office, but then had to take
the document to my Windows machine so that I could check the
formatting. So, yes I guess you're right about needing a
Windows machine to do word processing! Hope that this will not
always be the case. (fingers crossed) <smile>

Hi Russell.
What do you use for word processing?
I still have to use Windows for that.

Hey May! I'm glad to hear you're making the switch. I
bought
an iMac in early August and absolutely love it! There are
some things I am not able to do on the Mac yet, though,
like
embossing on my Braille Blazer, working with databases,
although someone said there is a database app, Bento, I
think, that is supposed to be accessible... will try it
later.
May, I don't think you will regret switching, just keep a
Windows machine around until you're able to do all you
need
on the Mac.

Keith's word is definitely good. I never thought I
would
switch from JAWS. I got a Mac for a single contract
and
now Macs and other Apple products are in so many
places
around my house that we look like an auxiliary Apple
store
(without the goofy t-shirts).
If you choose the switch, jump in with both feet, ask
questions and enjoy the goodies.

Hi Jim and welcome,
I think what folks are trying to say is, its
different. I
came from Windows, using JFW and Window-Eyes and DOS
before that.
The learning curve is not steep, the Mac is fast and
I can
do more with a MAC than I could have imagined.
I work in an office, I play around on the web, I am a
musition, I record and I do it all with the MAC and
Voiceover.
I think that folks want you to know that it is
different
and yes it is worth it to learn it.
Play around with a MAC, don't just take my word for
it,
but, my word is good.

I do second this notion Chantelle, forgetting the
windows
platform is essential when learning the mac. I bet
those
of us who forgot it learned the mac a lot easier
than
those who could not let go of windows for one
reason or
another. it is definitely easier to forget it,
but for
some easier said than done. :)

Hi, Jim,
I am going to tell you right now that you need to
forget
all that you know about windows when it comes to
using
your mac.
Mac is very different from windows in the way
that the
screen reads things, and the way you navigate
the
screen is different.
With the mac, you must interact with tables and
other
things by hitting control option shift down arrow.
Stop interacting by hitting control option shift
up arrow.
Hth,
