I agree with both of you. My two problems are that I have to want
learn certain things at certain times. The other is doing searches
for Voice Over gives you recording tips. I got the MP3 download of VO
help tutorial and will listen as well as pause it and try what they
say and play it agiain. I am sure it will give me alott of iinfo. If
I have the material I will not hessitate to use it. If you don't know
where to look, how to look or where to turn it can be dounting some
times. Lets keep banging [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yes, that's certainly true I'm afraid but then again, that same
thing can be said for many products, pieces of software etc.
I still found the Getting Started With VoiceOver a good read though.

Hi all,
I have to say that I find the mac help files can often be less
than helpful.
There are many times I have been searching for subjects and had no
luck.
Sometimes I have windows terminology and don't know how to
translate it into
MacSpeak so that help can understand me. Even after reading some
of the help
files I am still in the dark. Take Automator for example,
I am still none the clearer as to how to achieve the things I want to
achieve.
Persoally for me, I tend to try and do both things, look in the
help at the
same time as asking on a list... Sometimes it just happens that
the list
gets back to me quicker than the help files ever do...
What I find helpful is messages that say where to find or how to
find the
information, so rather than just saying read the manual messages
that say
'in the help menu for iTunes type in ...'. I think that being able
to search
through help files is often a skill in itself.
Take Care all,
From Penny
