Hi tim,
This is helpful to me as well. I have one question about the VO-t command for
hearing the current text attributes. For some reason, this command works fine
for me when I open existing documents but all I get is one of the voiceover
sounds when I use it in a newly created document. This is the same whether I
use textedit, bean, or my trial version of pages. Any ideas what I might be
missing

Hi Kimberly,
1. To set the line spacing in TextEdit:
• Stop Interacting with the Edit field.
• Navigate to the Ruler and Interact With it.
• Navigate to the Paragraph and Line Spacing menu and press it with
VO-space.
• choose your desired line spacing.
2. To choose a font:
• Either highlight what you wish in a specific font or this font will
begin from where the cursor is.
• Press cmd-t to bring up the Font window.
• Ignore most of the stuff but navigate to the Family Table.
• Interact With it.
• Navigate to your desired Font through the alphabetically ordered
Table.
• Once you have found it, bring the mouse cursor to it using VO-cmd-f5.
(Add the fn key if on a laptop)
• Press VO-shift-space for the mouse-click as focus doesn't really go
there without the mouse-click.
• Press cmd-w to close the Font window.
• Start typing and your font will be in your desired font.
Remember that you can press VO-t to confirm the font and style of your text.
Just play around some more, it will come to you.
HTH.
Later...
