Dan and all,

A lot depends on the document you are trying to read.  If you go to the user 
guides and information folder on your Mac, there are some pdfs there that 
are readable easily with vo.  They can also be navigated.  There are 
keystrokes for moving through pages back and forth, command-left and right 
arrow respectively up a page and down a page.

To read a document, you find it in the window and interact with it and use 
vo to examine it or read streight through.  The menus help a lot in 
understanding preview.

Hi Josh, Maybe navigating PDF's in preview would be a very good topic
to cover in a future edition of your podcast, as that's something I'm
still struggling to figure out.  It's probably pretty simple, and when
I hear how to do it, it'll be one of those things that I would've
thought was so simple, but am just not getting lol
