Hi
David, I agree. The documents people need to read are the documents on how to use iWork. A lot of people having trouble with iWork are actually having trouble adjusting to it, and not having trouble with its Voiceover access. iWork is not an MS Office look-alike, and quite a few things are done differently. It is iWork concepts, not VO in iWork, that are giving a lot of people pause.

hint, accessible pages works the way an accessible app is supposed to work in vo. the documentation for it then is where?

The problem with Pages etc. that I have noticed is there is no website or document that I know of that tells users of VO how to operate the thing. I have the Pages manual but as far as I have seen, it's all about clicking with the mouse, which is logical for the majority of people in the world I guess, but since Apple went to all the trouble of making it accessible, you'd think there'd be some sort of documentation or are we supposed to just fumble through it like blind people? Sorry for the harsh tone but I just don't understand why there is so little info. Please tell me I am just missing it and that it really exists on a website somewhere.

The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair.
