Hello Phil, I wish you luck with the one-to-one training, but I fear the trainer will not be familiar enough with VoiceOver to understand how to manage iWork. You have to do a lot of interacting and bringing the mouse to the VoiceOver cursor and doing a simulated mouse click. It all sounds

Hi Josh, Pages is a wonderful application, though there are some serious limitations to what can be achieved with VoiceOver. At present, VO cannot see lists, footnotes or tables. It cannot also see headings in a document. It treats any heading as a piece of text. James On 5 Mar 2013, at
