Hello, regarding TextEdit. If you are in a text file in TextEdit, press VO keys Downarrow to interact with the text. then VO keys A will read from the point where the cursor is located. If you are not interacting with the text, VO will always start from the top. HTH. Dan n Wed, 3 Oct 2007 12:03:45 -0400, Rich Caloggero wrote:
