Hi Anne, Well if I knew French, I'd have to get those training manuals from you. :) However, I have enough trouble with my native English. :) Well I hope to find some time to study the entire iWOrks suite, but for now off to install a new water heater since the other one caught fire. :) Scott

Hello Scott, I have the luxury of being married to a Mac expert and when we both have time at the same time, we put together user guides for VoiceOver users. Unfortunately for this list, they are usually in French, since the people we teach are themselves French. I've got Kevin more or less so
