Hi Kim,
Welcome to the list.
Yes, when the update is available, you will just download it through the
Mac App store. It will be a simple process.
There are a lot of shortcuts and various approaches to carrying out tasks
on the Mac. So, don't be surprised if people will throw out more than one way
of doing things. Sometimes, with VoiceOver, the commands will overlap with Mac
OS X keyboard commands. I know our resident cat lover will kill me for using
this expression, but there is more than one way to skin a cat when it comes to
using the Mac effectively.
Take Care
