Hi tim, LOL. Nope, I wouldn't try to get the attributes of non-existent text. Don't think you'd get terribly far with that one. Seriously though, I usually write a paragraph or two, then I feel like I need to make sure it's formatted correctly even though I know that I changed the settings. Most of the time I just get that ding sound.
Thanks. On Sep 28, 2010, at 9:44 PM, Tim Kilburn wrote: Hi Justin, Does your document have any text in it at all? If the document is empty then pressing VO-t will yield a muffled ding noise because there's nothing there for it to take the text attributes of. Simply type one letter and then press the VO-t command and you'll hear the text attributes. If that is not the issue, let me know and I'll dig some more for you. Later...
