You need to go to
http://www.apple.com/accessibility
Click on seeing.
Then go down to the voice over getting started manual. They have it either in
pdf format, or in mp3 format. Not trying to steer myself away from helping
you. It's just if you do not know the fundimentals like what the vo keys are
even, it's gonna be very difficult trying to explains things. To interact with
an item, asswuming it is a type item that you can interact with like a table, a
list, an outline, etc. you need to do vo+shift+down arrow to interact, then vo
shift up arrow to stop interacting. remember by vo, also known as vo keys, you
hold down control and option.

Thanks, Chris. No I wasn't, I didn't know any of this. So, then to interact
with an item, do I press enter, or use the mousepad?
TIA,
Donna

Donna,
For one, were you using the voice over keys with the arrow keys? You need to
hit control+option while moving around with the arrow keys.
Then do vo+space, or in other words control+option+space to select an item.
Chris.

Hello all,
This is Donna Goodin, I was on the list a few weeks back.
I had a chance to go into an Apple store on Friday, and played around a bit
with a Mac. One thing I noticed was that the arrow keys don't seem to do
anything, i.e. you can't use them to navigate around the screen. Is this
normal? If yes, how do you navigate the screen? Using Tab kind of worked, but
it didn't seem to get you everywhere on the screen. I did play around a bit
with trying to use the mouse pad, it was OK, but not very precise. If the
arrow keys are supposed to work, what should I have done to enable them?
TIA,
Donna
