Hi Karen I strongly suggest you have a look at the VoiceOver Quickstart guide, by pressing the keys "Control, Option, Command and F8) together. That will walk you through the process. Of course, you can request as much help as you need, that's why this list is here. Feel free, if you wish, to also contact me off list as I'm sure will be the case also with most members. We are only too happy to help new Mac users, so please don't ever think your question is too stupid or dumb, it is not.
But the guide, along with the list's archive will help you in your quest to learn the ropes. Good luck and you know where we are.

If I'm using safari are their basic key strokes I can use for getting around web pages? For example how do I easily find where I need to type in a web address? Also, how do I easily find an edit box to type something in and things like a submit button etc. This is all very new to me so any help will be greatly appreciated.
