Clair,

I had tried it on Snow Leopard, it was a new iMac 27" at the local Mac
Store in Southampton.  The mac had the new Magic Mouse.  The IWorks
was on a laptop.  I am sure it had Snow Leopard.  How did you get it
to track the cursor?  Was it the same as in TextEdit?  Does Open
Office work?  Is there a difference when using Zoom with VO and Zoom
without VO?

To the people who said there was no way to change the size of the
insertion point, there is a way to increase the size of the mouse
cursor.  This may increase the size of the insertion point also?

One of the reasons for buying the mac was so that I wouldn't need to
invest in any more access programs (screen magnifiers).  If I had to
do this for the mac there would be no point in buying it.  I might try
to get a quiet PC instead.  One of the reasons why I was very taken
with the mac was the fact it was almost silent and the built in
magnification.

Thank you very much for your help so far.
