Hi James, yes it does misbehave but not in the way it seems to be
with you. With me, if there is an image in the document or believe
it or not,certain alternate characters such as a recent case with a
small omega, lol! VO will either loop in a part of the document, as
I'm arrowing up, thus not letting me reach the top or bottom, or may
also skip a huge portion of said document, placing me at the end or
beginning, depending on which way I was going...
So never a dull moment here! lol!...
Smiles,
Cara :)

Hi Cara,
VO Find has never worked for me at all, so I don't now if it is me
or a bug in VO. Also, does VO ever misbehave with you in Text Edit
when moving through a document? It doesn't seem to like moving
through my documents sometimes, and will stop responding. i will
need to restart VO a few times before it fixes itself.
Thanks
James

Hey All, hope yer all having a lovely Fri!!!...
I have a quickie question concerning the find function in VO...
I've noticed that in several situations it just doesn't bloody
well seem to work! lol!
The latest situation was in Text Edit and I needed to search for a
word some way down in the document, that was most definitely
present, as I had just been there and needed to navigate back to
it. I went to the top of the doc and did VO f, typed in the word,
noting carefully, the spelling and even the capitalization, and
pressed return... *nothing* <smile> -And I do mean nothing!
<smile> I stayed right where I was in the doc, and was not placed
on the word in question...
I rinsed and repeated, and still nothing...
I then needed to manually move through the doc until I was where I
needed to be.
First off, am I doing anything wrong by simply typing the text in
the find field and pressing return?...
I know this is a VO thing, as I tried the plain Text Edit search
function with command F and it found the word immediately. So I'm
wondering what's up with the VO search?...
In this case, I was able to get around it, but I use the search
function all the time, for webpages, and have also encountered
this way too much for my comfort level. <smile>
Is there something I could be doing differently to cause this to
work better?...
thanks so much for any help / suggestions! -And have a great
day!...
Smiles,
Cara :)
