Re: Voice Over and Pages
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.

Re: Voice Over and Pages
Hi Sonnia, I doubt anything is wrong with Pages. What do you hear when you interact with this group? If it's the same area I'm interacting with, you'll hear Page 1 group. If you interact with that group, you'll be in an edit area for one of the parts of your page, i.e. header or footer or body. Move between them and interact with the one you want to edit, just to be safe, and that should get you started. Are you not hearing this? Perhaps we're talking about different layout areas in this case. Best, Zack.

Voice Over and Pages
Hi all. I hope everyone is enjoying this lovely long weekend we are having. I have a question regarding Voice Over and documents in Pages. I don't know where i am supposed to edit or type text in pages. I open pages, select a template (usi want to use the blank template.) After choosing a template, i am entered in to the document. I can navigate around the screen and i find buttons for formatting and adding attributes like underlining and bold but nowhere to type. I find a layout area and i interact with it but can't enter text. What's going on? :( If VO isn't accessible with Pages (although i hope it is) do let me know what word processing program i can use and where to find it.

Re: Voice Over and Pages
Hi Sonnia, THe layout area contains a group for each page of your document, which in the case of your blank template will be just one. Interact with that group and you should, in turn, find areas for a header, footer and body. These are where you do your actual editing. Best, and hope this helps, Zack.

Re: Voice Over and Pages
Honestly, I like textedit better than pages only because its a quick and easy to use wordprocessor.

Re: Voice Over and Pages
It does this for me, too, while reading my textbooks. I just press vo a again and it starts reading again. Caitlyn On Mar 29, 2011, at 8:19 PM, Matthew Campbell wrote: Hi.

Re: Voice Over and Pages
Hey thanks for telling me about converting files to PDF in Pages. My next question is is there a way to have only 1 page load or is that strictly an Adobe Reader thing?

Re: Voice Over and Pages
Hi Kevin. Yes, the textbook is a doc file but it has pictures in it. I have used TextEdit in the past to read this particular text but at the top of it, it has a whole bunch of degree signs and other weird symbols. I'm guessing it's because of the pictures. And as for converting it into a PDF format, that would be ideal if I wanted to read a whole chapter, but I don't plan on doing that and I don't want to keep starting all over again from the top. Any other ideas or suggestions will be appreciated. Shawn -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Voice Over and Pages
HI Shawn, If you're still looking at reading uninerrupted on the Mac, I'd suggest breaking up the document into smaller sections. I do know that you can bookmark things in Preview and come back to them. This has worked for me before. Outside that, I'm not sure if anyone else on the list has a better idea. This would be good to know, as I have several long documents I'd like to read without having to continually press VO-A to read all.

Re: Voice Over and Pages
Sean, Try one of these: 1. In Pages, open the document. Press Command-P to bring up the print dialog box. Navigate to the PDF menu and choose save as PDF…. Type a filename and choose a location. Switch to the Finder and open the document in Preview and press VO-A to read the entire document without interruption. 2. If it is a DOC file, open it in TextEdit and read it that way. As far as I know, the Say All command does work in textEdit, so long as you do it as soon as you open the document. This has been my experience, anyway.
