Hello Barry. I created a simple table using tabs as the column delimiter and the carriage return as the row delimiter. I then converted the text to the table. I was able to move over the table and Voice Over said that it was highlighted. I then went into the inspector checked the wrap radio button and selected the Object float radio button. The inspector opened but I couldn't read anything. Suggestions?
Thanks so much.
