Hello everyone,
I have a question. I went to try to submit my first book using the Mac book
and ran into a problem.
On the submit a book page, I could get to the "choose file button" and I could
hit control, option, spacebar, but nothing happened. How do you get the browse
button to come up using voice over. I have Mountain Lion still have been
learning and will attack updating to Mavricks particularly if that is the
issue, smile, but would like to submit these books.
Help.
What am I missing?
Shelley Rhodes, the not to adept mac user.
