Anybody collecting this very useful assortment of "how to do this" tips we've been seeing over the last two days? I'm afraid I've not managed this very well so far, but I see a manual chapter, Wiki, or tutorial outline in the making...

When in a conference press the "add people" button or hit command+shift+a, this pops up an edit box. Type a name or parts of a name and wait a second or so. Voiceover will say "skype has new window". Ignore that, it's a list of available names matching your search, but you can't do anything with it. Now hit your down arrow once. Vo will beep and announce the partial name you just typed. I don't know why you have to do this, but at least in my case, if i didn't do it, it didn't work. Maybe it goes to the end of the partially typed word. Now, hit return and press the down arrow once. This won't give any feedback but it actually selects the name from the list i spoke of earlier. Now hit return and the person you wanted should be added. What we would need is for Voiceover to give feedback as we move in the list of available names, which it doesn't do at this current time. What would also be great is if we could add a caller that rings in to an existing conference, a thing i haven't seen in this version. Now i just wonder if the steps i outlined above can be applied during an actual call, anyone who knows? Hope this helps. /Krister 5 nov 2010 kl. 21.24 skrev Sarah Alawami: > If it is a table then and hitting enter causes the text he sees to go away > then maybe copying that row could be a work around.
