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.

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.
