Phil covered selecting columns and rows comprehensively. As for VoiceOver still
announcing hidden columns, this is only if you use the VO keys to navigate. If
you just navigate using the arrow keys alone, as is generally the better
option, then VoiceOver will only announce the visible rows and
I guess you’re talking about TextExpander Touch, right? Some iOS applications
have TextExpander support built in, so you can trigger your snippets from the

Unfortunately I don’t think Pages is a good tool for what you want to do. I

I have noticed VoiceOver is a little overly verbose in lists. If you try and
navigate by word, VoiceOver announces you're in a list each time the cursor
moves, even if it's not going in or out of a list. I find this behaviour
annoying.

As well as or instead of formatting the cells as numerals or currency, you can
also use the ROUND() function. Using the ROUND() function is often preferable
as it ensures the actual value of the cell and its formatted value (i.e. what
is displayed) are the same. You can learn all about the

I actually really like the Notes app which is native to OS X. It allows for

Hi Sarah,
Just to be clear, you need to make sure the keyboard cursor is at the top, not
the VoiceOver cursor. Sometimes in Pages, particularly when tables or track
changes get involved, the keyboard cursor and VoiceOver cursor get separated
and are in different places. So it's not enough if
HI William,
Pages is working well for me in OS 10.9. However, as Sarah said there is a

paste that portion of the text which is on the first

VO-shift-space sometimes works. Other times you need to bring the mouse pointer
and actually physically click the TrackPad. In yet other times you need to
bring the mouse pointer, turn VoiceOver off and then physically click the
TrackPad.

HI Margaret,
One tip is that, in my opinion, the month view is the easiest view to use for
VoiceOver users. I think command-3 should get you there, but to be sure go to
the Window menu in the menu bar and select Month.

To reply to this post,
I think the date fields have been fixed in the new version of Pages. Once you
open the popover menu with VO-SHIFT-Space you can interact with the date picker
as normal. I did this today and I think it was in a predefined date field in
the invoice template but I could be wrong on that.
Also,
I think at this stage you need to update the date manually. Some word
processors allow you to insert a last modified date, and Maybe Apple will add
this in a future update to Pages, but for now we have to manually update the
date like 20th Century fools.

Yes, Pages would work well for this, but I think Numbers might even be better,
or a combination of both. Either would do, depending on what you wanted to put
in your invoice. I believe there is even special invoice creating software that

Just to add, you can also click on the Insert Page Number popup menu with
ordinary old VO-Space. I've also found that while VoiceOver for me reads every
page as having the same page number, in fact this is just VoiceOver being weird

HI Aleeha,
There's nothing that I can think of which would prevent VoiceOver reading the
