Re: Learning Pages for the Mac

Hello Craig, VO-F3 should tell you what page you’re on. If you set the zoom to 200% VO-F4-F4 will give you a pretty close approximation to where the insertion point is on the page. I’m a bit confused about what you mean by Column number. If you have two or three columns across the page, you can

Re: Learning Pages for the Mac

Hello, Anne, and thanks for staying with me as we pursue my question. I can wholly understand your confusion over my use of the word “column.” Some Windows-based word processors refer to a column as simply a space occupied by a character of text or a space proper. I am not talking about a

Re: Learning Pages for the Mac

The big problem with your deffinition of column is, print does not work that way. In most fonts, individual characters have differing widths, so there are not exact columns of letters on the print page. It is not like braille where there is a precisely defined cell space. This means, you need

Re: Learning Pages for the Mac

Thank you, Anne, for your response. I should have mentioned that I have Tim Sniffen’s book, and it is indeed helpful. I’m more of a keyboard shortcut person than a trackpad user, so some of the advice is not immediately useable to me; but I appreciate the clear style of his explanations and

Re: Learning Pages for the Mac

Hello Craig, Can you explain your difficulties with Pages? Remember to look at the menus to find the short cuts. Cheers, Anne > On 19 Sep 2015, at 14:36, Craig Werner wrote: > > Thank you, Anne, for your response. I should have mentioned that I have Tim > Sniffen’s

Re: Learning Pages for the Mac

Hello, Anne. Right now, I'm doing pretty well wisth Pages. The only problem I'm having now is not being able to tell where I am in a document. The command I am searching for would tell me the page, line, and column number the insertion pointer is on. VO F4 F4 was suggested, but although it

Re: Learning Pages for the Mac

Craig, if you stop interacting, VO will tell you which page you’re on and how many pages are in the document. Cheers, Anne > On 19 Sep 2015, at 16:39, Craig Werner wrote: > > Hello, Anne. > > Right now, I'm doing pretty well wisth Pages. The only problem I'm having

Re: Learning Pages for the Mac

Very true, Anne, but I'm afraid I want something more specific. If I could make Pages announce line, page, and column number, I would have a very good idea of where I am in a document. This would come in handy, for instance, if I were writing a short document, and I wanted to to space it out

Re: Learning Pages for the Mac

Hello Craig, You could do worse than to get the free iBook “Mastering the Macintosh” by Tim Sniffen. This book approaches the Mac from the perspective of an iOS user, but it’s full of useful information. And, of course, it’s free! Cheers, Anne > On 13 Sep 2015, at 21:54, Craig Werner
