Hi again Ann. I figured it out, and let me tell you how I got it to work.
VO never said highlighted but gave me text instead. Using item chooser, when it said the stuff that was in there and then said text box text box, I did VO space on it and then immediately interacted. I didn't think I needed to interact, but it didn't move the writing cursor until I did. I supposedly have all my cursors following each other. I'm going to try and work on it and get myself a template called Gigi's envelope with my return address in it and then put the text I need for placers in there so I can do my envelopes easier. If I could figure out how to make the space a little bigger, I will so I don't have to use so many abbreviations. Wish me luck here. I'll need it.
