Uh, yeah, sure, you can do that; but, why? Seems to me that if one is going to take the time to learn Voice Over, should not one totally emerce himself/herself in the Mac world? I myself thought I might take the curser adjustment approach, but, after trying it, I came quickly to see the wisdem of doing things the Mac way. Still, that option is indeed there; if, for some strange reason, you should feel the temporary need of it.
