Hello Margaret,

Have you tried Tim Sniffen’s free iBook, "Mastering the Macintosh with 
VoiceOver”? A lot of people have found it very useful and it covers using Pages.

Cheers,

Anne

Indeed Ann, I found it brilliant as a beginner last year.

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.

To access the templets after you create a new document is not possible. but you 
can save your new document as a templet if you customized it. Do this through 
file then templets.

Take cre.

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.

Hello Sarah,

There’s a way of fixing the selecting text problem that was posted to another 
list. When I lay my hands on it, I’ll post it here.

Cheers,

Anne

Re: [Mac-Access]: help with pages

[Sarah k Alawami]

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!

Blessings to all.

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

To access the templets after you create a new document is not possible. but you

I think cmd option I shows and hides the inspector. you can change to the 
formater part in the tool bar by checking the fomater radio button.

I'm normally a longer email sender, but it's pretty late here. so hope this 
helps for now. 

Take care.

Re: [Mac-Access]: help with pages

[RATTRAY J.]

hi,

one question re pages how do I get voiceover to read track changes and comments 
- I use pages a lot and for the most part really like it - experienced the same 
problems as you re selecting text that goes over multiple pages so if Ann could 
post the solution to that I would love it. But the one thing I can’t seem to 
get it to do is read comment bubbles or track changes. - actually it does read 
the changes a bit now as it will read both suggested changes but the comments 
bubbles I really want it to read

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.

Cheers,

Anne

I use the side bar table to read those. it's much much easier to read those
