Hello Alex, In Pages, you often need to bring the mouse and do a VO-Shift-Space to be able to edit.
The mock Latin is placeholder text. In Pages, you have to navigate with the arrow keys alone and never, never use Quick Nav. When you land on placeholder text, it should become highlighted andd will disappear as soon as you start typing, but what you type will be in the same style as the placeholder text. It's perfectly straightforward to use the provided templates once you know how to use Pages.
