ah, kay. gotcha. I feel like a real idiot now lol. for some reason I was
thinking that the vo key was the command key, when it's in fact control and
option. I'm such a newb lol!!!

Again the keys to press is control and option not command. Control is the
key to the right of the function key and then the option and command key
follows.

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.

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:)
