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've been wanting this for a while as well. However, there is a sort of
work-around. With Vo, you can browse a table or list view or outline view by
column. Find the table, interact with it if you need to (sometimes VoiceOver
does this automagically when it gains focus via tab). Now, you can
vo+rightArrow across a row, and then you get to a column you want to browse,
move down with vo+downArrow and VoiceOver will move to the next row and only
read the contents of the column you are in; the row number will not be
announced.
2. This one is easier i hope. how do i add an app to the dock? its been
driving me crazy.
I believe its context menu on the application (control+option+shift+m to get
context menu).
Hope this helps some.

Subject: Questions about IM, the dock, the quicklook panel, and VO itself
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
