OK, you know what? I had identically this same problem at one point. Remember, it won't work unless you have the most recent build of IWorks that has Pages included. Also, if you're like me, after installing IWorks, you may have to run a software update. Once that is done, you should be able to get to the typing area.

Hello Teresa. :) Honestly, i am not sure what i am doing wrong: i know
exactly where you are talking about on the page. I found the area to
interact with but when i am typing in the document,  i get audio
feedback from VO that what i type isn't being entered. It just makes a
noise everytime i type a letter but it doesn't speak the text the way
it should. I don't know if this means there's no text being entered
(if it doesn't show up on the screen) or if VO can't read it back for
some reason. I am using my macbook more and more now a days and would
love to see why this doesn't work. Either that or if someone can help
me find text editor, that's fair enough.

Hi, Sonnia,
When you enter the blank template, go to where it says "body" and then interact with it by pressing VO-shift-down-arrow. Now you can type and do whatever you like, and it should show up. 

hTH,
Teresa
