Hi guys I have another request for testing when some of you get around to it. I discovered a very bad bug in Pages having to do with the iPhone and iCloud. Don't do what I did or you can lose your files or parts thereof that are near and dear to you heart. Part of this is a VoiceOver issue, and part is not. Here is the disaster I created for myself.
Last night I worked on a Pages file until 10 o'clock. I failed to press command s, and this turned out to be a very bad decision. I made an even worse decision this morning. This file had two tables in it. I decided to see if tables would ok on the iPhone; they work great on the Mac these days. So, I fired up my iPhone in Pages. I was using the Focus 14 braille display and discovered that I could get into a table, no prob, get into a cell, no prob, but could not delete characters I wanted to take out with chord d. Then in messing around somehow, and I still don't knowhow I did this, I erased one of the tables. I tried to undo it, and it didn't work. So I went back to the Mac, and sure enough it was gone. Then I decided to see if I could get an older version. That was when I found out that I couldn't read with VoiceOver what my version choices were except for one, the one at 8 o'clock yesterday evening. I was hoping I had a later one, so I had to call that 877 number again so the lady with Apple could look at my screen by helping me to move the mouse without VoiceOver saying a word. She told me I had three choices, none of which were at 10 o'clock last night. This meant I had to do two hours work over. I also moved all my Pages files off the Cloud so I can use my Time Machine backup for disasters.
