Hi Ricardo, I agree, those items you listed definitely intrigue me. MOre over, I like the idea of iCloud in general. The way they describe it makes things seem so seamless and as if they'll just work. Remarkable stuff. Best, Zack. On Jun 6, 2011, at 6:31 PM, Ricardo Walker wrote: Is there

I am intrigued by the references to the gestures in Lion and wondering how all this will play out with trackpad commander and VO. With all the emphasis on Pages and the cloud, I wish they'd come out with a new version that fixed the problems noted by people on this list as it relates to voice

Hi Mary, Unless I miss my guess, a new version of Pages to integrate iCloud functionality will have to come out. Here's hoping they do fix some VoiceOver related issues as well. Personally, I've found Pages quite adequate for my word processing needs once I got used to its interface. Best,

Hi Ray and all, Isn't there an option on the Mac where you can make the cursor movement act just like it does in Windows? Johnny On 6/1/2011 4:38 PM, Ray Foret Jr wrote: Here's something that might prove a big help to you. Where-as in windows, the curser is directly beneath each character

All that does is cause Voice Over to always show you what is to the right of the curser. It WILL, NOT, make the Mac curser move like the windows curser. You must remember, even if you choose this option, the Mac curser is still the Mac curser. Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!!

What, pray tell, has that to do with the curser position and movement? It must be remembered, (for the benefit of y'all who are or may perhaps still be new to the Mac world), that the Mac curser itself moves in a different way to the windows curser. See my earlier message for an analysis.

Hi, I think to do those gestures, you will need to turn trackpad commander off. They would surely conflict with the voiceover gestures. Ricardo Walker rwalker...@gmail.com Twitter, Skype, and AIM: rwalker296 www.mobileaccess.org On Jun 6, 2011, at 10:08 PM, Mary Otten wrote: I am

I wish they would at least put out some notes about voiceover when they put out the features list for the new OS. I don't expect Apple to devote time to Voiceover in the keynote of course but, I don't think it should be much trouble to mention new VO features on the site. JMO. Ricardo
