Listers, I need your experienced help. I am doing a course and one of the ways I am being tested is my tutor sending to all the students a Word documents which has tables. The document is formatted as a word document. It has a number of questions and related conditions to it in some kind of a text box and then a table into which I have to type in "yes, no, or maybe" answers. I opened it in Pages, and I could access the table into which to write the "yes, no, maybe" answers, but there was no way of knowing which row corresponded to which question/condition in the textbox. It was a mess with voiceover and it took me two hours to work out what was what. I tried to convert it into rtf to see whether I can read all the relevant bits of the assignment but I couldn't since rtf reported the table as embedded file. I converted it into text but much of the content of the file was missing. I finally converted it to pdf and I was able to read the questions/conditions text box but of course I couldn't write the answers into the table provided because the table wasn't reported and anyway you cant write new content in preview. I then attempted Ms Word in Windows 7 in my virtual machine but that wasn't much help because I couldn't read the textbox with the all relevant questions/conditions.
So my question to you is, is there a way of confidently reading textboxes and their content in Pages or in any other way? I reported the difficulties to my tutor and he said he would try and send the assignments like this to me in an editable pdf form but I don't think I can actually access and edit any editable pdfs with voiceover. Is there a way around it/ This time, I managed to submit my assignment after hours of trying but I don't fancy doing it every time. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
