Hi Christine,

I believe that folders placed in the dock are by default set to be displayed as 
"stacks" and have their contents viewed as "automatic"-- which usually ends up 
as "fan".  VoiceOver won't announce folder content entries in these modes. You 
need to use your context menu (VO-Shift-M) to set your folder to display as 
"folder" and view contents as "list".  Once you do that, pressing space bar or 
return when focused on the folder in your dock will give you access to the 
contents through VoiceOver.

I wrote up a more extensive explanation about this on the mac-access list a few 
months ago.  You can read the detailed post at the Mail Archive link:

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther
