Re: Reading on Pages and Text Edit

[Brad Snyder]

I don't think QuickLook can be used to read a 300–400 page document. - Brad - On Jan 26, 2024, at 09:23, 'jason' via MacVisionaries <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> wrote:  Quick Look can also read a variety of file formats. When you want to edit, of course, you’ll need to use whichever editor you prefer.   From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> on behalf of John Panarese <jpanar...@gmail.com> Date: Thursday, January 25, 2024 at 16:00 To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> Subject: Re: Reading on Pages and Text Edit     Actually, Brad had a great idea. Try to open it in Safari and see how it reads there.   Take Care John D.

Sadly it's not working out for me on Text Edit. I have tried all the options that you suggested. Also, I don't want to open the document in a web brouzer. This is because I want to have the option of editing it if required.

As I mentioned, in Text Edit, I am not being able to read paragraph by paragraph. When Voiceover moves to a new page, it reads the first paragraph character by character. The subsequent paragraphs are read properly, and then once again after a page break,  I encounter the same problem.   I have tried all possible options, with quick nav on and off, as well as keyboard commanders.

I have large Word files from my Windows computer. These files take a lot of time loading on Mac when I open them on Word. With Pages and Text Edit, I am facing a strange problem. I prefer to read paragraph by paragraph. But whenever Voiceover encounters a page break, it starts reading character by character. I have taking this issue to Apple Accessibility and they have not been able to help. My Word documents are 300 to 400 pages long. Can anyone please advise?
