Hi Linda, The quick answer is that in order to get to these menus you need to press VO-M twice (for the Status menu) or three times (for the Spotlight menu). Alternatively, you can use the Mac OS X shortcuts for each of these options in place of the VoiceOver shortcuts: Apple menu and application menu items: press VO-M or press Control-F2 Status menu: press VO-M twice or press Control-F8 Spotlight menu: press VO-M three times or press Command-space As an example of using Spotlight to navigate to an application and launch it, you can press Command-Space, then type in the name of an application and press return to go to that file. Since it is an application file, the default open action is to launch it. If it were a text file, it would open up in TextEdit or Pages. A PDF file would open in Preview, etc. HTH Cheers, Esther Linda Adams wrote: I'm working through the Getting Started Guide, trying to find my way around my Mac Book. I have been looking at the menus and what is in them like the Apple menu and system preferences. the Guide says that the menu bar has a Status menu and Spotlight menu at the end and also says the Spotlight menu is very helpful for VO users to search for a file or other items. I pressed VO M from the Dock and also from the Finder window but neither has the Status or Spotlight in the menu. Can someone shed a little light on this for me? I'm interested in seeing how the Spotlight works. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
