Hello Eleanor,
If you navigate through a Pages document by sentence or paragraph, VO wil
announce the page number as you go on to a new page.
If you use VO-a to read continuously, you’ll hear the page change sound but no
page number will be announce. However, if you pause the reading, VO-F3
When I am reading a document in Pages I have vo say things like exited list,
page holder, I can understand the exited list but the place holder is
something I could do without having to listen to from time to time. Again
when there are bullet points vo will announce bullett bullett etc and
OK I have now got the Find to work but in order to get back to my text I
have pressed the Escape button, is this correct? I am referrring to the
item I have found and continuing from there. I presume if I find that in my
first search it is not what I am looking for and I bring up the Find box
Hello Eleanor,
I’m wondering what kinds of documents you’re reading. Placeholder text is text
that is meant to be replaced. You navigate to it with just the arrow keys and
start typing the replacement text when VO says “Highlighted”. So, it’s quite
important information that you’re getting.
Hello Eleanor,
When I use Cmd-f to find text, I click the Done button and I’m back in the text
with the first result of the Find highlighted. To find the next occurrence, I
press Cmd-g and the next one is highlighted. As far as I know, all Mac Find
commands use the letter ‘g’ to go straight to

Hi All, I have been coming to terms with a Mac for over 6 weeks now on a
daily basis and a little before that from time to time. However there are
some concepts I really cannot come to work out which by now should be fairly
obvious to me. Hope someone can clarify these for me.
At this point
Just wanted to say, good questions. I am in the same position as yourself, in
trying to transition from a Windows environment to Mac. I agree with you, that
it is not intuitive. Looking forward to someone responding, in basic terms, to
your questions.

The way in which some of these things work can be determined by the app you are
using, and how you have things set up.
Interacting:
For example, in the mail app, I need to interact with the messages table to
read my mail.
When going to an address in Safari, sometimes the page doesn't open,
Hi. Firstly, as to interacting, you only really have to do that when there are
things inside the item you’re on, like toolbars, to access the tools inside
this “bar” thing… or if there’s like, a lot of text, you can interact to view
it more closely. Think of interacting as looking closer,
1. QuickNav is used for general VoiceOver navigation with the benefit of
using it with one hand only. You can also access the virtual control

I think these are great questions too. I'd like to add one also:
What's the difference between the desktop and dock?
I know what the dock is on iDevices, but what is its function on the Mac?

Ah I am going to attempt a reply here so that I am participating as well as
asking questions. The Dock is a designated area running along the bottom of
the screen and your commonly used apps are housed there. Some people have a
lot of apps on the dock whereas others do not. The advantage of
A lot of people get hung up with the phrase interaction. However you
interact all the time on Windows but we simply do not describe it as
interaction. . Using Window Eyes for example you have to enter Table mode
before you can interact with a table on a web page. In most screen readers
you have

1. I think as a rule of thumb quic nav is mainly used for navagating the web
but not otherwise. Is this correct?
Not really - it is very useful on the web but even more useful as a general
replacement for Voiceover commands. For example I always interact on my

Yeah true. I got rid of it so I don't use it as I don't find a need to. Way too
