I think what he's talking about are the different visual panels VoiceOver offers. While great for trainers or teachers, they get in the way for many people, as you're discovered. Fortunately, there's a quick way to kill them: vo-cmd with certain function keys. F9 will show or hide the braille panel, which shows visually what your display says; f10 will show or hide the caption panel, which shows what VoiceOver is saying; f11 will show or hide *all* visual panels. > On Feb 6, 2015, at 10:39 AM, Eugenia Firth <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi again Tim > This worked ok, except for a couple of things.
