Anne, You can just interact with the button to read the button title. That is the currently selected style. I guess you have to dumb down like me to figure things like that out. :)
What is happening is that voiceover isn’t reading the title of the button at all. For some reason a developer at Apple thought it would be more helpful for Voiceover users to set the accessibility description. Whenever that is set, vo will read it instead of the actual button title. cheers.

What’s bothering me is the lack of merge fields in normal text. There’s now no apparent way to bring addresses in from Contacts, for instance. The fields in my existing templates have now become placeholder text which means typing addresses in manually. The only way I’ve found to ascertain the current paragraph style is to go to the paragraph style button, do VO-Shift-c then go to the Finder and press the short cut I’ve created for Show clipboard. For some strange reason, VoiceOver doesn’t read the current style, but the command Copy last phrase to clipboard, actually picks up the name of the paragraph style. This is the only situation in which I’ve found that command to pick up something other than what was spoken by VoiceOver. I’m going through all the Pages training material we use and updating it for this new version so who knows what I’ll find in the coming days.
