yep, I was pressing command space bar on the tab, and it brought me to the
spotlight menu. I know that's also the shortcut to get to spotlight though,
so I was thinking maybe voiceover was confused as to what function it's
supposed to perform? maybe it's fn/vo/space? I'm using a macbook, if that
makes a difference.
peace and positivity:)

Are you sure you are pressing control option space bar and not command
space bar? Your friends info was correct that if you press VO space bar
on a given tab you will be provided with choices related to that tabs
controls.

hey guys
Im back with a newbie question, lol. my dad has a mac running tiger that
he uses for work and is letting me play with, so I'm gettin' some first
hand vo experience this weekend!! and I'm pretty impressed with myself,
i started lookin' at it last night and I've already gone through almost
the whole manual and am navigating the finder and doc and different
applications and dialog boxes pretty confidently.
anyway, yeah. I was in text edit prefferences trying to change some
things and I found navigating multi-page dialog boxes really confusing.
it seemed like everything was just randomly clumped together. a friend
from the list told me that vo/space would select the tab and show only
the settings for that tab, so I tried it on the voiceover utility menu
and in the text edit prefference dialog, and it just kept bringing me to
the spotlight, even though I was on the tab I wanted to select. then,
when I closed the spotlight menu, it would say, for example, voices tab
selected, but I'd still see settings for other tabs too. so I'mnot quite
sure why it was bringing me to the spotlight menu in the first place
when I was clearly on a tab, lol.
anyone have any suggestions?
thanks in advance lol!
peace and positivity:)
