Hi All I have been looking at getting one of the new MBA for a couple of weeks now and a thanks to those who have chimed in with my previous questions. Mostly I will not be using the Air for much word processing and the simple text editor will suit most of my needs. Having said this when I have been playing with Pages and Numbers on the Airs in my local Apple store I am finding it not very intuitive and it seems like you need to do a lot of complicated key strokes to achieve anything more than simple editing. I know this is probably mostly due to the fact that I am not by any stretch of the imagination an expert on the Mac or Voice Over.
But I also wonder if it is at least partly because iWork with VO is not really up to scratch. from a productivity perspective.If I am just writing a simple document it seems fine but once I try creating a document with some Headings at different levels and headers and footers etc, it starts to seem really complicated and just a lot of work arounds. As I said I haven't even bought my MBA yet and it is just lucky that my workplace is right near an Apple store so I have had a fair bit of time to go and play around. When I have seen other people on the list ask about doing complex document editing the main response seems to be that you can run Windows in boot camp or fusion. I guess I want to know whether iWork is not up to scratch or is it just that I don't know how to use it? Are there any people on the list who do use the Mac for complex document creation, and I use the word complex loosely? As I said at the beginning of this, I won't be using my Mac for much more than simple document creation, I will still be using Windows for real work, however I find the lack of VO support for the productivity applications a bit disturbing.
