Hello Jürgen, The only difference between your method and mine is that your method tells you how many items are selected, but you don't hear the first and last cell coordinates, whereas with my method, you don't need to count cells and rows before starting, you just have to locate the first

Hi Kirsten, highlighting an empty portion of a table in Numbers and copying it to Pages should also work. But creating a table without contents is also possible in Pages itself. I'm totally with you. It's really a pitty that VO doesn't recognizes tables. All we can do is to write an e-mail to

Hello Gigi, Any layout problems need to be handled in Numbers, not Pages. You then have to copy just the portion of the table that you need. So if you have a blank column at the left, some blank columns to the right, and some blank rows below, you should not copy these back into Pages. To

Hi Anne. Let me make sure I have it straight. I have been doing the layout in Numbers, but what I have been doing is pasting all of the text after I get it done. Also, I finally figured out I had to take out all the extra columns and rows before pasting the text. Are you saying that I should

Hello Jürgen, Using your method, can you select a portion of a table or are you stuck with entire columns and entire rows? My method allows you to select just the part you want. Cheers, Anne On 14 Nov 2011, at 17:48, Jürgen Fleger wrote: Hi Anne, could you please tell me, what's the

Hi, Tables is something which majorly bothers me about Pages too. I couldn't understand why it wouldn't read them. Now I am enlightened! Thanks. What is the command to convert text to table and table to text which was mentioned? Or if I read right, how do you create a command like this? Also,

Hi matthew, I understand that you can copy the table in to Numbers and work with it normally. I'm not sure what progress has been made with Voiceover and tables within Pages itself, but I do know that copying the table into Numbers does work. Hope this helps, Kevin On 2011-11-13, at 8:11 PM,

Hi guys. Tables has been my most painful part of switching to the Mac. I signed up for on-to-one with Apple when I got my Mac, and I have been there three times trying to work out the difficulties with my tables. It was, by folks on this list, that told me to put the text into Numbers and
