I've been playing with pages a bit. Briefly, this is what I've found.
* The only way to get into the document area where you can type and edit 
text is by going to the view menu and making sure all toolbars, format bars, 
rulers, etc are hidden. Once this is done, you will be dropped into the text 
area and you can type away.  Interesting approach, but not obvious.

* If you turn on any toolbars, then you can move to the buttons, but the 
document area is not accessible. There is something called "scroll area" in 
the window, but you can't interact with it.

* I've found no way to use any of the styles (i.e. apply a heading style to 
a paragraph) etc. You can show the styles drawer and interact with it, but 
you can't browse any of the styles in any of the lists in there - you can 
but VO doesn't tell you anything constructive about the entries, it just 
says "unknown". The help says something about assigning styles to function 
keys f1-f8 then using these keys to apply the styles (I assume to selected 
text).

* If you turn on the styles drawer, interact with the drawer, then stop 
interacting with the drawer, then you can't turn off the style drawer and 
thus cannot get back to the document area.
I suspect a bug in pages, because restarting VOiceOver doesn't fix it. Also, 
the menu entry in the view menu for toggling the styles drawer is 
unavailable and it always says "show styles drawer".

Has anyone looked at this? Can anyone reproduce any of these results?
