David Griffith [email protected] I think I can answer my own question. You do indeed have to turn off the option for voiceover to read the word or character to the right. This is a feature which was introduced to make VO more familiar to Windows Screen Readers but I now now know that it has serious limitation. If you turn this off VO will travel obediently to the end of a word rather than jumping over line breaks punctuation and spaces to the next word. I will try and get used to the default way of editing documents with the cursor passing over either side of characters and words. , at 14:43, David Griffith wrote:
