Hi,
Check out the Numbers app.  It is to Excel as Pages is to Word.  Haven't 
checked it out much, though I had the notion at one time that I might be able 
to use it for working on spreadsheets while I'm away from the computer, since I 
can't do that on my BrailleNote Apex. I could sort of navigate around in a 
spreadsheet but I couldn't figure out how to tell VO where the column and row 
headings were, which is crucial for me.  . It turned out to be a brief exercise 
in frustration, so until VO gets sophisticated enough to let me do what I want 
to do effectively, I'll do spreadsheets on my PC.
Tom

  This is not exactly the same topic but I am wanting to know if anyone has 
used pages with an Excel sheet? I am having to use Excel sheets in my business 
but don't want to purchase Pages if it doesn't do what I want or VoiceOver wont 
allow me to. Thanks for any help.

  Alan,
  If you have a very long document, double tapping doesn't move you to the end 
of the document.
  For example, I have a recipe book that is about 150 pages in Word.
  In the Pages app, it has 475 pages, which are really screens, I think.
  If I double tap and VoiceOver says Cursor at End, then touch with three 
fingers, I am on page 6 of 475.
  If I use a QWERTY keyboard and the command plus down-arrow command, and then 
touch with three fingers, I hear page 474 of 475.  There are some blank lines 
at the end of the document that cause the page total to be 475, but the text 
actually ends on 474..

  So, while VoiceOver may tell you it is at the end, the chances are it is not.

  Richard

  In my iPhone 4 you can move from the beginning or the end of the document by 
double tapping on the field useful if you want to add text ahead of what's 
already there.

    1) With the rotor you can only navigate by character, word, and line. 
However, dots 1 3 5 chord with space bar scrolls right one page; dots 2 4 6 
chord scrolls left one page; dots 1 4 5 6 chord scrolls up one page; and dots 3 
4 5 6 chord scrolls down one page. In most circumstances, page equals screen.


    2) Single finger double tap on the active edit field moves the cursor/focus 
to the beginning and the end of the active field. On my RefreshaBraille 18, 
pressing the joystick like a button activates the single finger double tap. 
Dots 1 3 chord places you in keyboard help. You can then press any buttons or 
combinations and VO will announce the function. Pressing dots 1 2 chord ends 
keyboard help.


    3) Not that I know of.


    4) When a word is misspelled and you receive the sound, do a single finger 
right flick to find the first suggestion. Continue flicking through the 
suggestions. In text messages, corrections sometimes appear before the text 
message (left flick rather than right flick). If you place the cursor at the 
end of a misspelled word using a cursor routing button, sometimes the 
misspelled words will be signified. Unfortunately, there are no notification 
marks like underline of each misspelled word. Sometimes I need to press space 
followed by dot 7 chord (backspace) to get the suggested words to pop up.

      Hi,
      I've been really curious about using Pages with a Braille display, so I 
began playing with it the other day while I was on the way home from work.  

      Using my iPhone 4 with a BrailleNote Apex, I was able to use the Pages 
app to create a document, then e-mail the document to myself.  The document was 
in Word format.  I was a little disappointed that I couldn't put the document 
straight into Dropbox, but I'll worry about that later.  Anyway, I have some 
basic questions.

      1. Using the rotor, I was able to navigate through the document by 
character, word and line.  Is there a way that I can navigate by paragraph or 
page?
      2.  In a conventional PC-based word processor or text editor I can go 
straight to the top or bottom of a file at will.  Is there a way to do that in 
Pages?
      3. Is there a way of temporarily restricting Vo so that I don't 
inadvertently stumble into the toolbar?  
      4.  One more, and then I'm out of here for now.  I'm a pretty good 
speller, but if I do make a mistake, VO will inform me that the word that I 
just typed was misspelled. Short of manually editing the misspelled word, how 
can I correct it?  I tried double-tapping on the word and couldn't figure out 
how to bring up any suggested alternatives. How do you do that?  On a related 
note, once the document has been drafted, is there a way to spell-check the 
entire thing as one would with the spell-checker in Word?

      Okay, that's enough for now.     

      Tom
