You could also give OpenOffice and/or LibreOffice a whirl. Seems that
both have broken VO support with Lion but previous versions of OSX
worked pretty well with OpenOffice. I still had issues getting their
spreadsheet to announce rows and columns but many other things were
accessible. Worth a try since they are both free.

Hi,
The requirements you have in relation to office application is related to your
skill level or what features you require to use.
Tables within Pages o not work. I am aware of many discussions on work arounds.
But pages doesn't work with tables. There are other text based Unix
applications that do work. In a Business world, you don't use those tools
because everyone else uses Gui word processes. Sharing documents becomes far
more complex, even if it is possible.
Spreadsheets when I played with them called Numbers was really painful. I just
could not get around the spreadsheet and things were either double speaking or
not.
Presentation tools I found not accessible at all.
All above apps are for iWork's. So Apple do have a lot of work to improve.
Pages appears to be the most accessible. But there are a lot of features of
Word Processing that isn't accessible.

No. I mean in VoiceOver Utility, in the Navigation category, where you have
things like Initial position of VoiceOver cursor, for Mouse pointer: you should
have the Mouse pointer: pop up button set to Ignores VoiceOver cursor. I find
VO to be more stable this way.
Cheers,
