No, there is only one way to rename documents, and it is complicated. I rename

 Hello,
  
 Now this is the current holly grail for an app that is accessible. There are 
 quite a few apps which will let you view MS Word format files. There are a 
 few which will let you edit such files. The only one I have found that is 
 even somewhat accessible is Pages. I find Pages to be decently accessible 
 when I use my braille display. Others have reported that Pages does not track 
 properly when there is more than one page of text in the document when using 
 a bluetooth QWERTY keyboard. I am unable to comment as I do not use such a 
 keyboard.
  
 Again, with my braille display using cursor routing buttons, I am able to 
 properly edit even multi-paged documents with Pages.

Hi,

I tried Documents2 a few months ago, but I was unable to bring focus to the 
text of any document, whether I had written it or it was created by another 
program. I could start typing a document, but once focus was elsewhere, I 
couldn't get it back. Frustrating, as it looked interesting.

Best,

You know if Pages etc. are that important to you, I would strongly suggest you 
write to Apple if you have not done so. YOu can send a message to 
accessibil...@apple.com post feedback via the iTunes store, or use the feedback 
mechanisms APple provides on their website. I have send my issues along, but 
the more the better. Obviously there is always an issue of resources and 
priorities. The challenge is balancing the needs/wants and resources.
No question that accessibility is important, but…

2012-08-23 Thread David Chittenden
Hello,

Now this is the current holly grail for an app that is accessible. There are 
quite a few apps which will let you view MS Word format files. There are a few 
which will let you edit such files. The only one I have found that is even 
somewhat accessible is Pages. I find Pages to be decently accessible when I use 
my braille display. Others have reported that Pages does not track properly 
when there is more than one page of text in the document when using a bluetooth 
QWERTY keyboard. I am unable to comment as I do not use such a keyboard.

Again, with my braille display using cursor routing buttons, I am able to 
properly edit even multi-paged documents with Pages.

RE: App that allows editing of Word documents.

None that allow quick edits.
 
Pages, with a keyboard, and lots of patients some say, will work, but it is
not quick.

Has anyone tried Documents 2? I have not tested it extensively, 
but it seems like a pretty good app so far.

Hello all,



I recently downloaded Microsoft Sky drive on the iPhone and 
wanted to edit
one of the files in my account.  The app attempted to find a 
compatible app
on my phone that would edit the document, and that leads me to 
this

question:

What apps, can you suggest that will edit a word document on the 
iPhone?  I
like reading and making minor edits as I go, and Plaintext just 
does not
pass muster for me.  I also don't want to keep opening my laptop 
all the

time.

Thanks much.
