[macvoiceover] Re: Documents And Tables

Give this a go.  This may not help you edit a document but last night I didn't 
want to load up Windows just to check a job reference number for a job 
application I was doing.  I opened Pages and tried copying the document into a 
new Mail message as Mail reads tables, all be it in HTML fine.  I found to my 
surprise that this worked a treat and you may want to give it a go if you just 
want some information from a document.
