Hi all, I have only just recently started using the Mac and am now beginning to become familiar with the VO commands. I have a question that I couldn't seem to find the answer to on any of the various voice over helps. How do you use list boxes? I was trying to create a blog and in order to enter my birthday I had to use a list box. I tried interacting wit hit and selecting it with VO space and VO enter. Any suggestions? Thanks, Emsters18

Hi, If I'm understanding right, you should be able to just VO space on the combo box and use your arrow keys to select what you want, then VO space again. You don't need to interact with it. For example if you need to select your birth month, VO space on the combo box, arrow down until you find the month, or type the first few letters, then VO space again and it'll be selected. Hope that helps and hope I understood correctly.

Hi. When you come across a popup button, try hitting space bar. it might do that sound and put you in the menu. you don'talways need the commands from voice over to interact with things. good luck and if anyone else has a better ida, then they'll help. Enjoy the Mac, one of the best things i've done in awhile. And no, I'm not syaing this is better then something else.

Thank you for all the help. You are understanding correctly. I'll try navigating the combo boxes In the way you suggested.
