Hi Scott, I'm also interested in Adium, but haven't dl'ed it yet,
so am afraid I can't help you out on that one. <smile>
As far as adding apps to the dock, while the app is running, locate it
in the dock, and access it's menu there. There will be an option to
keep in dock...
I haven't found a way as yet, to skip through preview audio, or to
stop VO from saying the row numbers, aside from interacting with
tables and such, so it doesn't announce it, which would be the only
possible way I can think of at the moment.
I'm sure others will have suggestions too though... <smile>
Glad you have a shiny new MBP!...
Have a great weekend!...
Smiles,
Cara :)

Hey all,
Its good to be back on mac! Had my old g4 power book stolen awhile
ago so I dropped off the face of the earth, but as of a few days ago
I'm rockin the macbook pro and lovin it. Trouble is, in that time
off, I've completely lost the knack for voiceover and sunk back into
my old evil windows mind-set ways, so I hope you don't mind me
throwing a few questions out.
1. for IM, particularly msn i guess, i used to use fire.
Downloaded version 1.5.6 just now, and either i'm losing my marbles
or this thing just isn't as accessible as it once was? I can see
the menues fine, but the preferences seem really tempramental and
all i get in the accounts window is a table which appears to be
blank. Anybody else seen this and have a solution? and, has anyone
had any luck with Adium from www.adiumx.com?
2. This one is easier i hope. how do i add an app to the dock?
its been driving me crazy.
3. The quicklook panel in leopard is neat... really handy! When
you activate it for audio files it previews them as well i was
pleased to discover, and apparently for the sighted user there's a
way of skipping through the audio. I can find a pause button, and a
display for ID tags and stuff like that, but no joy with the ability
to see any sort of slider or scroll thingy with VO. Anybody else
had more luck?
4. Loads of new VO options in Leopard... very cool to see. Maybe I
missed it, but I didn't see a way to stop it announcing row numbers
as you move through tables or list view though. If it exists, could
someone nudge me toward it? Would speed things up a lot for me in
some situations.
I'm totally out of touch with the list and current topics, so if any
of this has been thrashed to death already please accept my
apologies, and feel free to contact me off list in that case if
you've got a spare few secs to help out.
Cheers...
Scott
