Absolutely brilliant.

I think you should consider writing a I Works Guide for visually Impaired
people  .

Something modelled on the "getting started with the Iphone  for blind Users
" Daisy Book only targeted at Office Productivity generally and using I
Works on the Mac specifically.

You could probably assemble a lot of it from the posts you have made on this
list but it would be very useful to have it all set out in tutorial form and
properly structured with chapters on Pages Numbers and Keynote with possible
supplementary on these app on I devices.
You could also have Section on Text Edit, mail contacts Calendar and how
they interact with the I Work suite. This  would fulfil a  great need.  For
example I picked up from you that text Edit is a better tool for continuous
reading of word docs than Pages.

There is also a need for a guide to using office productivity on the Mac
which integrates OS  and voiceover key shortcuts.
There are loads of introductions to voiceover but very little which takes
you to the next stage.
It is a yawning gap in the market.
I, for one, would buy it.

Subject: Searching in Numbers

Hello everyone,

I just discovered this trick for searching for specific content in Numbers.

. Set a hotspot on the table without interacting with it; . Press Cmd-f to
open the Search field; . Stop interacting until you've stopped interacting
with the scroll area; . Navigate down to the next scroll area and set
another hotspot; . Press Cmd-f to hide the Search area.

Now, when you need to search for something, just press Cmd-f, enter the
string and press Return. Go to the hotspot you sett on the Search area and
select the result you want. Bring the mouse and press VO-Shift-Space then
jump to the hotspot you set on the table. Just interact and you'll be on the
selected cell.

This method removes the need to turn off cursor tracking, and minimises the
amount of interacting and uninteracting you have to do.

I tried this from all over a spreadsheet with over 400 lines and it worked
every time.

Cheers,

Anne
