Hi,

Maybe I’m misunderstanding things here, but, if you disable the Document pane, 
then you are removing the container where the text is being held.  Would that 
not, therefore, make the text disappear, or, at least, inaccessible?  If one 
does an Item Chooser, then types some text that you know is in the body of the 
document, if it appears to the Item Chooser, we’re getting somewhere, if not, 
then the accessibility of the editable area is non-existent.

Later...

I don't think he can! get it to work.  I think what he means is, if you could 
disable that, then it would be worth it, although, as said in my first message, 
I don't understand how that would help.  If anything, I'd think that would make 
it even worse.

Chris.

 How are you able to get it to work?  I cannot get VoiceOver to read the 
document area at all.
