Hi Donna, Thanks so much for such a detailed reply. I have an office 365 subscription. Perhaps, I will try using the same on the Mac.
I don't necessarily need complex stuff such as tables and flow charts. I teach English Literature in a University. All I will need is good text formatting and a facility to collaborate with others. I looked up Word 365 keystrokes for mac. They look comprehensive. I haven't used Scrivener yet. I will be grateful if you could leave a note on the programme. Warmly, Hem. -----Original Message----- From: 'Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> Sent: 30 August 2019 17:32 To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Training for Word Hi Hem, I have used all three programs: Pages, Scrivener, and Word. They are all compatible with VO. I also share your reservations about working across word processors. I would say, though, that I've been pleasantly surprised with how Pages works with Word documents. the big thing is that you have to remember to Export to Word rather than save. I haven't tried to export files with super complex formatting or with tables, but if you are working with a text file, you should have no problem using Pages. If you decide not to go that route, using word is pretty straight forward. You can find the commands you need, along with the keyboard shortcuts, in the menus. Note: I use Word 2016 on the Mac, not Word 365, so there may be ways in which that experience differs.
