Hi Ted, You asked: >Reading through your instructions I see that I had correctly achieved some of >this earlier but having saved a favourite in a folder that I'd created in the >Collections list I'm not now able to use the bookmark to take me to the web >site! How should I do this?
The general rule for navigating to a bookmarked web site from the "Show all bookmarks" page is to go to the bookmark entry in the outline and press space. (If you think this isn't working you can always check this by copying the URL when you're in the address field with command+c, then typing command+l to go to the address bar, paste with command+v, and return. The command+l will open up the address bar even if it has been hidden.) You can either navigate to your bookmark with VoiceOver and your arrow keys or by using a search. For example, first choose a folder in your collections table (tab to this table, interact, VO-keys down arrow to find the folder of interest) then tab to the outine of bookmarks for that folder, interact and VO-keys down arrow to the bookmark of interest. If you've put the bookmark into a subfolder, you may hear "collapsed" when you reach the folder, and have to expand it with VO-keys+backslash before you can VO-keys down arrow to reach the bookmark. Once at the bookmark I press my space bar. "Double-clicking" (holding down VO-keys+shift and tapping my space bar twice quickly) also works to navigate to the link. If you use the "Find" (Command+f) search method, make sure that you don't hear any "boinks". If you type a non-existent search string you need to press escape to dismiss the find window. (VO-keys+right arrow past your typed search string will say "not found") Any bookmark that you use really frequently should be placed in the bookmarks bar, so you can use the shortcuts command+1, command+2, etc. to go to your first nine listed bookmarks. Other bookmarks that you use semi-frequently you might want to put in the bookmarks menu -- easiest to go the page and then use command+shift+d if the default web page name is OK. HTH. Cheers, Esther P.S. I recall there were some list mentions of other software products like Bookdog and Sogudi to organize or customize bookmarks.
