Hi Hayden, Go to http://w3.wmcnet.org/dtbmaker/books/vogs/ for the VoiceOver Getting Started Guides for Leopard in various formats courtesy of Greg Kearney.
>There is a spoken .mp3 manual on vo in leopard. I keep forgetting where it >is though. David has answered most of your other questions. >> 2. I notice that the "cut" function appears to be constantly greyed out. >> Why >> might this be? This function is greyed out until you have actually selected text. Otherwise, there is nothing to "cut". Try pressing the Shift key along with movement command keys to select text. For example: command+up arrow move to beginning of the document shift+command+up arrow select to the beginning of the document command+down arrow move to the end of the document shift+command+down arrow select to the beginning of the document command+left arrow move to the beginning of the line shift+command+left arrow select to the beginning of the line command+right arrow move to the end of the line shift+command+right arrow select to the end of the line option+right arrow move one word to the right shift+option+right arrow select one word to the right option+left arrow move one word to the left shift+option+left arrow select one word to the left option+up arrow move to the beginning of the paragraph shift+option+up arrow select to the beginning of the paragraph up arrow move up from present position shift+up arrow select upward down arrow move down from present position shift+down arrow select downward Hope this helps.
