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.
