Re: [Mac-Access]: help with pages
Hello Julie, To find the next comment or change, press Cmd-Option-k and you should land in a popover where you can read the comment or change and who did it. You can also accept or reject it. If the popover doesn’t come up, try pressing VO-Shift-j.

Re: [Mac-Access]: help with pages
The one thing I'd wish they would fix and I've reported it about 20 times now is the inability to select text that span multiple pages. I've verified this is a voice over bug by shutting off voice over and selecting multiple pages. Looks likeI have to keep reporting that one. Take care.

To use styles you need to do that through the formatter. People keep asking me to do either a written or audio guide on how to use pages. I'm thinking of doing both, but it will take time.

Re: [Mac-Access]: help with pages
That would be grate. That seems to be the only show stopper, that and the naming of tables problem and the table of contents, but other then that, pages is very much usable; I passed my class thesis with it. Wahoo!
