Hi all,
I don't have a Mac at the moment but am considering getting one and
have some questions about Voiceover and general Mac access which I
wonder if people could help me with?
1. With word processing, is VO able to give font/formatting information?
2. I use spreadsheets a fair bit and
I have recently switched from Windows to Mac - JAWS12 to VoiceOver.
Word Processing - very disappointing as I use Tables extensively. Pages is
slow loading and getting into editing quite tiresome. I am finding it
difficult to get used to interacting with this and that.

There is a learning curve to word processing on the Mac, including getting
used to different cursor behaviour . You can set up the Mac so that
Voiceover behaves like windows screen readers when cursoring or editing text

Hello Catherine,
I just bought my first iMac two weeks ago. You sound remarkably like me in
terms of your computer usage. My experience thus far has been:

William,
This is not a particularly wonderful website, in my experience. Just a
suggestion, it might be worth giving it a try at different times to see
