> Hi, > I never touched a Mac before so please dont laugh at these questions! > 1. can I use my Windows USB keyboard with a MacBook? Definitely. When you plug it in, it should start working. If a keyboard assistant pops up, follow the instructions (use control-option-right or control-option-left to explore the dialog, and control-option-space to activate buttons). I strongly recommend you get Voiceover running first so you have speech if this window appears. It will usually just ask you to hit the key to the right of left shift, then the key to the left of right shift, then it should be all set. > 2. Does the MacBook have a num pad? Not a physical one, but my understanding is that holding the function key (lower left on the keyboard) and using the U I O, J K L, and N M and comma keys will simulate one. Google will have more information on this. > 3. how would I start voiceover for the 1st time? Just press command-f5, or command-function-f5 depending on your settings. If you have never used this machine and it is new, or newly reset, Voiceover will come up the first time you boot it and tell you what to do. > 4. where can I learn about using voiceover on the MacBook for beginners? Try www.applevis.com - search for David Woodbridge's podcasts. Vision Australia also hosts his audio, so give them a try if applevis.com fails.
