Thanks. I have listened to some of the mountain Lion podcasts on Applevis. They are helpful, though sometimes beyond my current skill level. I don't know how this happens, but every so often, my speech turns off, not voiceover, but speech, and the only way to get it back is to have my husband or son go into the voiceover settings and turn it back on, because it is muted some how. Is there a key command that will bring it back?

First pointer, forget everything you know about windows and your former screen reader. Next, get your head wrapped around the concept of interacting. Interacting tightens your focus in to a specific manipulatable area. You can interact multiple times to work your way down layers. For me, interacting was extremely confusing to really figure out. Also, Windows control is not Mac control. On Mac command structure, control, option, and command each have specific ways of effecting things. Command, which is in the same location as alt in Windows, is the key used for direct manipulation. So, command c copies whilst command v pastes. That said, there are other command key commands which directly translate from Windows alt, such as command tab to switch between open windows on the Mac. I haven't committed all of the Mac commands and VO commands to memory. Instead, I use the touch-pad a lot.
