Bruce Bailey's list of Mac OS X VoiceOver Resources and Links look at the second linked item for a list of VoiceOver commands with brief descriptions; the first link is a very long list of Apple keyboard shortcuts under Mac OS X. (Link is to Greg's recent copy of these pages, since Bruce mentioned earlier this month that the original hosting domain was about to go away): http://w3.wmcnet.org/vo/vo.html 2. Tim Kilburn's VoiceOver Information The links to Apple's preinstalled applications give VoiceOver specific instructions for using those applications. So you could find out how to use Preview with VoiceOver, for example. Tim gives very clear instructions. There's also a general purpose tips and tricks link. Not all items have been updated -- for example, iTunes accessibility is new. Also, the VoiceOver wiki at the Blind Techs web site hasn't worked for a while, so ignore that link. http://homepage.mac.com/kilburns/voiceover/index.html 3. Alastair's VoiceOver Basics This is a set of quick commands and description of how to turn VoiceOver on and off, try the basics of navigation, interact with text, etc. using a subset of the VoiceOver commands http://alastairc.ac/notes/osx/voiceover/voiceover-basics/ I bookmarked all these sites from earlier postings on this list. Here's a link to a post on how to search the discuss archives: http://www.macvisionaries.com/pipermail/discuss_macvisionaries.com/2006-December/018169.html And I think what Rafael meant was that instead of using drag and drop, you need to use the Mac OS X shortcuts for copy (command-C) and paste (command-V) to move items around. Hope this helps Cheers, Esther
