Re: transferring music into itunes library and then to my iphone
Hi Deneise: Should be pretty easy transfer. If the material you want to bring in isn't on your mac, copy the folder(s) to a flash drive and bring that to the Mac. Now, use the copy and paste to put them into your automatically add to iTunes folder. This is located in home, under music-itunes. If I've confused you, you can email me off list and I'll try harder to confuse you more.:) Take care. Oh, BTW: Once thos are added, they'll appear in your itunes library, and you can make whatever playlist(s) you wan to. They'll go to your iPhone the next time you plug it in and sync.

Re: very peculiar behavior change with audible.com
Ah Ricardo: You're my hero today!!! This stuff is still completely beyond me. Does this mean we can now access flash content that previously we couldn't? Thanks.

I opened the page, and, suddenly, all the samples on the page started to play at the same time. When they all finally stopped, I took a look at the page and noticed numorous audio element control tool bars all over the page. I mean they were all over the place. These audio element control tool bars are doubtless familiar to you if you've pressed VO+space on an mp3 file from say www.blindcooltech.com to play the file right off the servers. anyhow, I decided to take a closer look, so, I searched for a title I knew was there; I mean on the site. When I found the book I was looking for, I nnavigated to it and, guess what, next to the word sample, there was an audio element control tool bar. At this point, I would have to conclude that the people at audible have heard us and made some major change to their page so that we no longer need to use the mouse method to play samples. As a qualifier, I must hasten to add that I have the anti flash extension, (I forgot the proper name of it for the moment), and, when I looked at the settings I had made for it, I found that it was set to buffer and start playing the video content automatically. With this in mind, I have two questions. 1. For those of you who also have this flash extension, have y'all noticed this difference in audible.com? 2. Now, for those of you without the extension, are you still needing to play samples using the mouse method? Thanks. Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!!

Re: i-pad vs i-phone?
Hi Karen: The iPad can be used to make ;hlne cals with a third-party app such as Skype. But, a phone it is not. At present, the iPad also doesn't have a camera. You would also probably want to employ a headset if you did use an ipad as a phone, because it would be awfully awkward holding the iPad up to your head.:), or having your conversation be heard by everyone in the room.

Re: IPad questions
Hi Garth and list: Back on the MBP for the moment. Well, apparently, it did sync some contacts, and some songs. My daughter just went thrugh and organized my contacts on the iPad, which would've taken me several months, a ton of gray hair, not to mention several rum and coke binges; none of which sound like fun.:) Now I just have to get the address book on the mac to look that nice.:) I have to say, observing her do that really brought home to me how much of a struggle things like contacts and address books can be when they get balled up. They take us far more time and effort than sighted folks to fix up.:) Anyhow, I'm still wondering why my contacts wouldn't complete an email address. For example, I put in Mac for macvisionaries, and nothing would happen. Is there an auto complete or smart address feature I'm missing on the iPad? Also, I don't really see my whole music library on the iPad. So, I'm not quite out of the woods yet. Since I'm still pondering, I'll ask one more: Is there a way to now copy the corrected contacts back from the IPad to the mac, rather than rebuilding again?

Re: considering iphone
Hi Greg: Well, I think you would probably really enjoy the iPhone immensely. I have just given mine up because of my hearing issues, and I miss it terribly. I'm transitioning to the iPad, but my whole life seems to have become so intricately tied into that iPhone in terms of keeping track of people, things, emails, even my prescriptions that a day doesn't go by when I don't lament having to give it up. Probably the most difficult thing for me was doing things with phone calls, because of the amount of dexterity required. Combine a tendency to screw things up when trying to hurry with a severe hearing loss, and you have a little idea what was a struggle for me. My best advice: Go into an Apple or att store. Get someone to set up Voiceover, and link up with someone you can call and talk with. The sister group to this one viph...@googlegroups.com is an excellent resource. A lot of people make good use of things like voice command to get the phone to call contacts, and also some use bluetooth headsets for more private operation of the device. Good luck.

If there are ways that having an iphone could significantly increase independence or help with personal organization etc. I would feel that the cost was justifiable. Most of the articles I have found about the iphone for blind and visually impaired users offer vague assertions that the iphone increases the independence of blind people but not a lot of specific info. My guess would be that apps like digit-eyes, saytext, and gps apps could be extremely helpful and would be worth the investment if they worked well. I have read mixed reviews on digit-eyes and saytext though. How viable are these apps? Are there other apps that might make my life easier as a totally blind person?

Re: Viewing purchase History
Hi Jane: I'm assuming you mean with itunes? If that's the case, you should have a purchased right berlow the itunes store in your sources list. You can also check view your account, to see if there's info there about your purchases. Otherwise, you can dumpster dive for those little receipts iTunes emails you after several purchases.

Re: IPad questions
Hi Garth: This actually makes some sense. I've been more of a screen drag/explorer ever since I had an iPhone. I guess I don't understand why messages show up in a pop-up window.

I am not saying that you are just swiping but it helped me to explore this way as well as swiping. The dismiss popup can be thought of as a back button if you like. Try going into mail and double tapping on the Reply button. You will get a popup in the top right hand corner. It is like a little menu that has various options, ie Reply, Reply All, Forward and Print. These options are below each other in a popup window. So if I had hit the Reply button instead of the Delete button and then wanted to cancel I could touch anywhere else on the screen other then in the popup menu and VO would say double tap to dismiss popup. To me this is a very useful feature, it just takes time to get use to. I hope this makes sense.

When you plug in, (or maybe before you do) turn off Auto-sync just to be on the safe side. Then plug in your iPod and go to I believe it's file menu. Check transfer purchases from iPod. And you should be good to go. Then you can sync/back up again.

IPad questions
Hi listers: I sent my first ever email on the iPad to this group. What do you know: it got rejected. It said the message was rejected by the recipient, and that I should check with the recipient's domain. That makes no sense, as it is receiving emails from this group. Any thoughts? Ok, second: I keep getting a message saying, double-tap to dismiss pop-up window. I don't understand why there's a pop-up window, and why that message seems to take up the whole screen? 3rd: My Apple Wireless keyboard works fine with my iPhone, but will not pair with the iPad. it seems to turn off when it sees the iPad, or something strange like that. (who'd have thought these two wouldn't get along? It seemed like a match made in Heaven.:) Ok, 4th and last for now: How can I change the archive mail option to delete instead? I don't find it in settings under mail. I would really appreciate any help. Please feel free to email off list if these are just too much.:) And thanks in advance.

Re: Switching Windows iTunes Library to Mac?
Hi Brianna: Guess I get to be the bearer of good news today!:) You can very easily transfer your pc itunes library to your mac. There are actually several ways. Probably the simplest would be to plug your touch into the Mac. Itunes should open, or if not, open it. It should tell you that your device is synced with another library and ask you if you want to synce, or transfer purchases. Another way you can do it is to turn on home sharing on both computers (assuming you have a wireless network). On your mac, look in the sources list for a remote library. Then, if memory serves correctly, you can import that into your mac's library. Finally, if these seem too risky in terms of messing with your device, you can copy the library to a flash drive and add the contents of the library to your automatically add to iTunes folder. (that folder is located in an itunes folder if you go to home and find the music folder.

Re: Using a Macbook/MacBook Pro as Primary Computer?
Hi Brianna: I've found myself booting up my old Dell less and less frequently, in favor of the MBP.:) The battery is actually built in such a way as to not be affected adversely by memory. That is, it doesn't remember how much was left before you charge it. So, there's no adverse affect in that way. I guess I'd say the MBP has become my primary computer for most things, save scanning and printing labels. My little Dell and the Canon scanner are a pretty hot team to beat, and I'm afraid my dear Mac-alexander just can't beat them for convenience. I confess that at times, emails are easier to read at times with Jaws. But, even Safari is beating out my Firefox browser and I very rarely surf wit the Dell anymore. Questions are a good thing. We all learn from them.:) Enjoy your Mac journey. Caarolyn H On Dec 22, 2010, at 7:51 PM, Brianna Snyder wrote: Hi, I just got my MacBook Pro about a month and a half ago.

more about laccessibility also itunes
Hi Everyone: I learned about some things today that for me were new and interesting. For some this may be old stuff. But, I consider the following things pretty interesting. This is regarding my one to one training today. 1. We looked at the website I had issues with. What it has is a lot of immages, and some text that is sort of in the background. We looked at it with Lynx, and certainly it made more sense. However, given that it involves terminal commands, my trainer suggested I not use Lynx until I'm a little mre seasoned, and I am completely in agreement with this. So, next, as an experiment, she went into browser preferences and under appearance she turned off display images when page opens.Well, not too cool for a sighted user. But, all of a sudden those text items in the background read very well. We also went to another difficult website, (my local grocery is at Kingsoopers.com). It too worked much more cleanly. Of course, the down side is a sighted person would be pretty unhappy with the screen as it is. So, good to know how to turn images back on when you're done.:) 2. I have a cd that for whatever reason imports very quiet in iTunes. Sound check didn't render any improvement. So, there are two places where one can make adjustments of which I was unaware. In preferences, weinteracted with the toolbar, chose playback, checked the box for soundcheck, and also oosted playback volume. When that didn't make the desired change, we went to get info, (command I), and to options. There another volume slider was available for the cd. Boosting that slider, the cd plays at the same level as other stuff now. Perhaps old stuff for some of us. But, these might be helpful to someone else so thought I'd share. Thanks for reading. Now I have to figure out or remember how to turn on images again.:) All part of the learning process. Take care everyone, and I'll be the first out on the limb to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, if you are celebrating.

Haunted mail
Hi again guys: Carolyn here. Two very strange things have happened today that are makng me uneasy. First, all my macvisionary messages that I had retained disappeared. Then, a whole mailbox I had created as a filter disappeared. And, finally, a third thing is keyboard commander again became disabled, with no intervention from me. Anyone had weird happenings like this? TIA for any info, or perhaps a mac-exorcist.:) Caroolyn Haas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: safari questions
Hi Marlaina: Here's something else you can do to start to feel more comfortable with your mac. Press the command key and spacebar. This is called spotlight search. Now, type in either users guide or getting started. All of this info is actually right here on your mac, or easily reached on line. You just have to decide who's boss, and then just explore with things like spotlight search, menu browsing and interactive help windows when they come up. Also, you may want to go into VO utilities using CTL-option-f8.

A pep-talk for an anxious mac user: was Re: How to interact with a folder.
warning! warning! warning! Step away from the computer! Repeat: step away from the computer! I know you feel like everyone's doing all this stuff and you want to know it all RIGHT NOW! You'll just make yourself crazy. Take things a step at a time. It will come eventually. I'm living proof of just how eventually for some of us.:) Just start by taking up one task at a time and working on what you need to do to use that task consistently. Then you add. But, trying to build Rome in a day won't work for most of us. There are exceptions, some of the geius types for whom things just click easily.

Interesting, Ricardo. Today in my one to one, we were dis ussing the fact the VO often doesn't give any indication that it's doing what you've asked it to do. I know in that other unmentionable system, it's an option one can turn on and off by the degree of verbosity. But I don't recall whether I was getting complete feedback when the mbp was set to high verbosity.

Re: audible and Web Kit issue
Hi Bearfeet:) Just teasing:) Hi Ray: First: thanks for posting these directions. I'm glad someone knows how to do this. But, frankly, this is the most ridiculous arrangement I've ever seen. By the time I could accomplish all those key strokes, I might be old and grayer, and had a stroke myself! Is that the best the developers could do with the sample button? I'm really dumbfounded. This isn't an attack on you . But, I can't believe anyone would go through that much hastle to check a sample of a book. We're a pretty resourceful lot. Can anyone come up with a better method for accessing samples of books on Audible?

Here they are. 1. Find the book from which you wish to play a sample. 2. Open that book's page. 3. Find where it says sample on the page. 4. Now, manually rout the mouse pointer to the word sample by pressing command+VO+shift+F5. 5. Now, lock down the VO keys via command+semicolon. 6. Press F5 to ensure that the word sample is under the mouse. You may wish to press VO+command+shift+F5 to make doubly sure. 7. Now, move your mouse directly in an exactly straight line to the right. Make very certain you move directly in only a straight line going neither up nor down or at an angle of any sourt. IF you're using a track padd, you can place a finger directly on the very left uper corner and move right. Move very slowly as you do so. 8. As you move your mouse, press F5 one time after another to make certain of what the mouse is resting over. 9. When you hear, empty scrol area you will know to stop moving the mouse. 10. Now, press and hold down your control key and actually click press the mouse itself or else, if using your track padd, physically press the padd. Here's another way to get to this point. A. Turn your mouse keys on. B. Rout your mouse to the word Sample on the spot for the book you wish to listen from. C. Now, press the option key five times to a activate your mouse keys. D. Next, move the mouse 25 clicks to the right by pressing the o key which will, (with mouse keys on) act as the mouse key right arrow. E. Now, control click the Mouse by pressing control+i which will, (with mouse keys on) act as the mouse click key. Now, you're back at the next step below. 11. At this point, a menu consisting of thirteen items will appear. Just arrow down and press the space bar on the play button. Note that, after you've started a sample playing, you will need to turn off Voice Over and turn it on again. Otherwise, You will not see the thirteen item menu when you go to play the next sample.

Rading a description of browser mode would probably be hhelpful to folks that do a lot of scanning through folders. I will try to explain... In browser mode there are three or four columns available. The left most column is the highest in the set of folders currently visible. If one turns on preview mode for the browser then the right most column will have a Large icon of the folder and a bit more directory / file information (including I believe a start playing button for A/V files.

Re: changed iTunes server but purchases don't go there
Hey Marlaina: When you make a purchase, it goes into which ever user's name is loged in, and into their music section of the library. If you have differing accounts on the same computer, you would still be in your own library, and that's where purchases would go, unless you are using the same passwords. If you want to call me, I'll be glad to try and help you sort that out. Carolyn Haas On Dec 16, 2010, at 4:58 PM, Marlaina Lieberg wrote: Hi Tim.

This command will take you to the top left, and bottom right of many things, as long as you've interacted. So, I often use it in tables, but also in documents.

Re: My Eyepal demo is here.
Hi Erick: You have so hit the proverbial nail on the head here. I've been trying very hard to make vuescan work, to make anything work in terms of scanning. I have had absolutely no luck, even with a version that works for some, even with an Apple trainer very generously spending time with me on things. I finally took 100 pieces of mail and booted up my old Dell pc with it's even older version of openbook. I found a lot of missing stuff, and found out which bills I didn't pay while I was trying like heck to scan with my mac, and now have a credit ding. Strictly my fault. But, I was being obsessive/determined to get the mbp to scan for me. so, you've just laid it out in far nicer terms than I've been feeling just now. I'm glad I'm not the only one who is feeling like the MBP is a lot of things, but not a very good scanning solution for the average user. Thanks for spelling this out so succinctly. I was beginning to really beat myself up for not being able to make this work.

It's a testing ground for anything and everything and I'd take my crashing issues to a couple of actual windows pc's before I really worried about them. The unfortunate thing about the crashes from my standpoint is that I can't show the unit to a client if that's what it's going to do . Now having said all that, we've got a couple of off the shelf solutions for the mac for around a hundred bucks. You know what? They suck. I know a few really ambitious people on this list have gotten it to fly for them, and that's great, but a fare few of us here are high end computer users. You've got to realize, The vast majority of blind people are over the age of 60. They have interests and poppies and things they like to do and a computer is a great help to them, but they can't be having to worry about hardware compatibility, and they don't want 5 or 6 steps and 3 programs to do a simple scan and read. I'm not gonna take them through image capture, then fine reader, then text edit, only to find out that what they scanned didn't OCR properly. The first time that happens I'll lose my audience. You've got to face the fact that there is nothing for OCR on the mac that is simple as openbook or kurzweil, and you've especially got to face up to the fact that there's no one program on the mac that has as many features in one place as either of those two packages. For two grand, EyePal doesn't support enough languages. It's not integrated with all the services like RFBD and bookshare. It doesn't have a spell check, dictionary or thesaurus. it doesn't read currency. It doesn't have automatic calibration features that will optimize the camera settings for the particular text you are reading, lighting conditions and so on. What it does do, is handle large books really and I mean really well. It will allow my elderly mac-wealding clients to walk up, put down a document, hit a button and find out what's on the paper just like my windows clients can. Is that worth 2 grand? I'm not convinced, but I'm not ready to writhe it off until I get to see current software working on a real platform of my choosing. Meanwhile, I suggest you pour yourself another cup of coffee and mellow out. I know exactly how you feel. I felt the same way when the original knfb reader came out. Now that product is a stone-age brick and I could probably have one for $500 if I asked around. I'll tell you what though. I got those so and so's right where it hurt. You know what I did with there $3600 piece of astonishingly portable, nice-looking and effective technology? Oh ho ho you'll never believe this... I left it in the store. *rubs hands together with glee* That showed 'em. Now I've been working in AT for almost 3 years, all be it on the very bottom most rung of the ladder, and It's not like it was 10 years ago. They're still charging stupid amounts of money for high end screen readers and braille displays, mostly because it's tradition. They can charge it and people are paying, so you can't very well blame them. Newer technologies though are subject to the same laws of depreciation as every other damn thing.

Re: My Eyepal demo is here.
Hi Dan: There are two and actually 3 programs in this thread: The first is a scanning device known as the eye-pal, which works in conjunctionn with a pc or Mac to easily scan and read printed material. The issue with that is the software to make it work on a Mac appears to require an additional $150. The second program is one that does both scanning and OCR. It's name is Vuescan, and it costs around $40. Drawbacks are that it worked well in trial but not so once I downloaded the updates. Also, It doesn't address orientation. So, you might have difficulty if you don't know which way a page is supposed to be oriented. finally, the third program being discussed isAbbyy which apparently has the best OCR, but has to be fed an image from either vuescan, or iPhoto. The printer mentioned apparently works with Abbyy. HTH Carolyn ]On Dec 12, 2010, at 6:58 PM, Dan Roy wrote: So, if I go out and buy an Epson TX110 and Abby I should be able to use it without VuScan?

I don't want to go and beg for charity at this or that organization for a device which can rationally and marketably be proposed for half the price if not more with solid components. A church or a beneficial organization can instead then concentrate on real applications and research to benefit all the blind people at mid term instead of benefitting the little portion of blind people who will go to lengths to apply for subsidies and other protracted measures aimed at giving governements the clout to claim equality of rights. This money is not wanted, at from my perspective, as it creates an enteprise which is not up to par with what is really possible to do. Take for example the US government which shifted it's internal systems from buggy, slow and extremely expensive software from contractors to a mainstream platform. This is exactly what i mean though i can't criticize a device i have never touched and am just using this as a general direction . As for the makers of JAWS, i find it satirycal obviously and blatantly ludicrous and effectively wasting subsidy money to spend a year's worth of developement for a ffeature which allows you to Check basball and hockey scores. This totally broke the deal for me at a point when i thought i might have to get it for my cross platform network setup. Honestly, do they really think blind people are just cultured for baseball and hockey? It's such a an ironic situation that i almost cried after laughing my butt off listening to the freedom scientific guys talk about it's rich features in looking into details of the pro baseball season. On the other hand, this clarifies a much better view of the blind community. There are many elderly blind individuals who have had sight before and were probably fans of those sports, and this is where the money is going, feature requests. And therefore those organizations with money are pouring it in for basball and not interactivity or solutions to help younger blind users increase their cultures and capacities. Make them batmen and not baseballers. Sorry i'm getting carried away, i hope things go well with the eyepal and perhaps i will still drop by my center to ask if they have one to demo, at least i will have a concise opinion that will then be backed by all of the above, or i can shut my mouth for all the reasons aforementioned :) best regards, Yuma DX® -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Navigation in Preview

Thanks --FC On May 11, 2010, at 4:05 PM, Esther wrote: Hi Olivia, You need to set a hot spot if you want to go back to the same location in Preview after shifting to another app. Before you navigate away from Preview, press VO-Shift-1 (or any other number key that you want to assign to th hot spot). You'll hear VoiceOver say, Save as hotspot 1. Then, you can switch applications with Command-tab, do something else, and when you return to Preview press VO-1 to get back to your hot spot location so you can resume reading where you left off. This is a workaround, and the hot spot won't be saved if you have to restart VoiceOver or if you log out. This is a bug in Preview. Preview is one of the few apps that, at least with respect to VoiceOver Navigation and focus on this point, behaved better in Tiger than in Leopard.

Olivia On May 11, 2010, at 3:53 PM, Esther wrote: Hi, As Marie says, the key is interacting with the text in Preview. If you can't read continuously after interacting, check your PDF Display settings under the View menu on Preview's menu bar (VO-M to the menu bar, press V to go to the View menu, arrow down, press P to go to PDF Display, right arrow to the submenu, then arrow down to see which display mode is checked. The default is Single Page Continuous. If Single Page is checked, VoiceOver will stop reading at the end of each page. This setting can be useful if, for some reason your PDF book starts reading each page in the middle due to a conversion or format problem. In Preview you can Command-Right arrow to move to the next page, Command-Left arrow to move the previous page. Also, if your PDF supports Table of Contents organization, and you have navigated and interacted with the Outline View where the contents are listed and selected a section (e.g., for one of the Take Control guides, after downloading and opening the eBook in Preview, tab to Outline View, Table, no selection; interact, and select a section, then stop interacting and VO-Left arrow to the main document section of Preview, you can then use Command-Up arrow to move to the start of the previous chapter and Command-Down arrow to move the start of the next chapter. These correspond to the places you would select by navigating up and down in the Outline View. If the sidebar is not showing Outline view, but is instead displaying thumbnails or search results because you used Command-F to find a string in the document, you can use item chooser menu to search for Menu Button (e.g., VO-I, then type b u t, press return, and arrow down to the selection and either press return or VO-Space), then bring up the contextual menu (VO-Shift-M) and arrow up to Table of Contents. VO-Up arrow to the Outline view, interact, and select a section from the contents. This only works if the PDF document was constructed with a viewable table of contents -- you won't find this menu option in PDF files you simply create by printing with Command-P and saving to PDF. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

But, the download process is pretty straight forward. I'll give you the basics here, and perhaps someone can point you to more details. Find the site you want to download from on the web. If you're not sure, you can simply google open office. On that site, search for your download link. It might say, click here to download, or download link, or just give the software name, in this case, open office. It will probably display as an EMG file, which is a common format for apps to download in. Assuming you've located the link, simply vo space to select it, and vo space to begin your download. The window will change to display download list, and you'll be downloading your file. It will give you an option to press clear. which you can safely do to help you determine if your download is done. It won't close that down unless it's finished. You can also close that list window and continue about your other business. If you try to shut Safari downn before the download's through, it'll warn you. Ok, now your file is very likely in downloads. You can go command H to home, and/or get yourself to downloads and find that file and open it. It will either start installing, or show a file to start the process. Hopefully, this will at least give you a rough idea what the process should be. Hopefully I've not confused you too badly.:) Good luck.

I navigate and use Pages and Text Edit successfully, but I just want to try OpenOffice. I do well with FB chat but I've read so many of your comments on using third party chat clients that I at least want to try it out. I've never downloaded an application from the internet without sighted assistance so I wish to listen to a podcast which walks me through the steps so I know I am performing the correct steps. I assume the steps are pretty much the same no matter what application I am downloading, but if not, this would be good to know as well. Again, I wish to experiment and see how I enjoy these applications so if it turns out I much prefer Pages/Text Edit over OpenOffice, let's say, how would I then go about removing the application? Is it as simple as finding in the application folder, bring up the context menu, pressing move to trash or are there more steps than that? Thank you!

Re: safari not always alerting when page is loaded
Hi John: No, mostly during page reloads and exploring sights where I move around a lot, such as cyber Monday sails on Amazon. They were kind of a web nightmare with Safari and the constant need to change pages to get through the 108 pages of specials. (Ok, not that crazy, think I made page 8 before I gave up.:) And the Apple website offered all it's really expensive designer accessories for the iPad at a whopping 10 per cent off. Oh wouldn't it be fun to encase an iPad in a $400 Italian leather case!!! Ok, I've gone off topic big. But, the surfing was definitely a challenge.

He repaired permissions but that didn't fix things so he did Verify Disk and an error was found. He then did a Repair Disk using the Disk Utility from the Snow Leopard installation disk. This fixed his problems. So, if Verify Disk shows an error, shut down your computer, then insert the installation disk and hold down the letter C as you press the Power button. Keep the C key held down until you hear the install disk getting busy. When the language chooser window comes up, click continue and on the next screen you'll find the Menu bar. Go along to Utilities and down to Disk Utility. After that, it's just like using Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.

Re: not getting copy of sent messages
Hi Mafk: You can also do this through filters with Google rememberng that the field that is marked to gets the group name, and the field that says has the words also gets the group name.

Re: Intro and Questions
Hello Ezzy: There is also something handy called the web item roter which you can set up to allow you to move quickly to links, headers, frames etc. You can invoke the roter by pressing VO-keys U. Then you can arrow down whichever collumn you want to search. I used that a lot in the beginning when I couldn't remember all the cmmands to go places on a web page. Gmail still somewhat illudes me. I kind of set mine up by accident.:) So, I'll leave that for someone else. Welcome On Nov 23, 2010, at 6:44 PM, Ezzy Bueno wrote: Thank you so much, Kim!

Press control/option U and then VO right, left, and up and down arrows to see elements on the page divided into categories such as links, visited links, tables, etc. Press enter on the element you would like to go to. In order to get a complete list of all the elements on a web page, press control option I. You can then begin typing any word you might be looking for and you will move to that in the list.
