Hello Nick,

I’m just beginning to explore the new version of Pages, but I’m already 
horrified by the fact that I can no longer reach the menu to the right of the 
button to select a paragraph style in the table. I can therefore no longer set 
a short cut for a style. There must be some way to reach it, but I haven’t 
found it yet, but VoiceOver says: "selected Heading button has alternate 
items”. Obviously, Heading is the current paragraph style. I’ve tried bringing 
the mouse and using VO-Shift-m, Ctrl-Click, double-click but nothing works.

I got a reply from Accessibility about the VO-F4-F4 issue claiming that the 
insertion point is being reported correctly, which is blatant nonsense! I’ve 
replied with further information, reminding them that the problem is system 
wide and not just in Pages. In fact, in Pages, there are things we can do to 
find out where we are on a page, but in TextEdit, such tools aren’t available 
to us.

I’m really cross about all this. Don’t they have any VO users testing iWork for 
them?

Cheers,

Anne
