Scott, These combinations are not in conflict at all. It can be argued though that at least at times, you need for them not to track one another and this is why we can turn it off temporarily and turn it on again. It can also be argued that the voice over cursor should never follow any other cursor but the cursors should always follow the voice over and mostly conversely, the other cursors should not follow the vo cursor.
Now that I've thoroughly confused you, here's how it works. If you are voing around in a document and the two insertion point boxes are checked, you can start typing where you stop with vo and if you are using the arrows to move in a document, you can pick up where you are with vo if you like. same with the mouse and keyboard focus cursors. sometimes, I have needed to do a control click right where I am with vo and having the mouse cursor follow me while I vo has been handy for that. The manual provides some exercises which help demonstrate this and the mix and match. I hope this helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Lawlor" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "General discussions on all topics relating to the use of Mac OS X by theblind" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, January 11, 2008 10:20 AM Subject: cursor questions Hi. Thanks for the info on my basic questions email from all you guys. I was looking in the voiceover utility under navigation and was wondering about the following. Currently it looks like the following options are all checked. mouse cursor follows voiceover cursor. viceover cursor follows mouse cursor. Should both of these be checked as in the way that I'm thinking about it, both cursors would be following each other and that sounds sort of confusing. also, voicover follows keyboard focus is checked as is keyboard focus follows keyboard focus. It doesn't seem logical that both items in each of these pairings should be checked but then I'm new at this. Thanks for any clarification on this matter. Scott
