Although there have been a lot of improvements in accessibility in Pages for Mavericks, most of the VO find commands still don’t work. So find next heading, find next link, find next bold text, find next text with same attributes, and so on, still don’t work in Pages.
Something that’s worse in the new Pages is the inability to set a hotspot on the paragraph style and check it without jumping to the formatter. I submitted a bug report about this stuff some years ago so I suppose I’d better do it again, for what it’s worth. I don’t think there are enough of us using Pages with VO to have much impact.
