Do you have all check boxes checked as well?

It sounds as though you should be able to use
VO-keys shift space bar to click. That relies on
having
Mouse cursor tracks VoiceOver Cursor
checked although, as Dan said, some people
have had trouble with this combination.
Some people uncheck "VoiceOver Cursor tracks Mouse
Cursor" because, in case they have a mouse attached
and accidentally move it, the VoiceOver Cursor location
will also move unpredictably.
With these settings do you still have problems
clicking? The only instances where I've had problems
with this (on a PowerBook and also on a
recent Intel MacBook) is when the item I try to click
on is actually off the screen. That's rarely the case.
Cheers,
Esther

Shaun,
Bring up the VoiceOver Utility with VO-keys+F8
where VO-keys means pressing the control and option keys
together.
Use the item chooser menu (VO-keys+i) and go to the
Navigation tab by typing first "tab" and then the start of
the word "navigation", carriage return, then
do VO-keys space bar to go to the Navigation tab.
VO-keys down arrow and tell me which boxes are
checked.
In particular, look at the last 6 entries:
VoiceOver cursor track keyboard focus
Keyboard focus tracks VoiceOver cursor
VoiceOver cursor tracks Mouse cursor
Mouse cursor tracks VoiceOver Cursor
VoiceOver cursor tracks keyboard text selection
Keyboard text selection tracks VoiceOver cursor

No mouse, just to be sure we are talking about VO keys, Shift
and
space bar to right click.? Another lister said you can turn mouse
keys on or off. I will do a search for this and see. However I did
not see VO key strokes in a help search.
I'm also going to point you to Tim Kilburn's web page:
http://homepage.mac.com/kilburns/voiceover/
He's got some very good documentation on the
Apple Pre-Installed Programs, especially TextEdit,
Finder, and Safari. And the Tips and Tricks link is
also excellent. Ignore the dead links to the Wiki,
which died with the hosting site pages.
Also, look at this web page from the archives on
spell checking, which is also discussed in Tim's
notes on TextEdit:

Choose the later links at the end of that page to read the
other contributions to the discussion, for example, Tim's
response to Holly's post on a consistent way to spell check
in both Mail and TextEdit:
