One thing you can do in a blank document is set up the structure. the
difference between office for windows and pages for instance on the mac is that
you can do a lot of things free hand. You might also want to investigate the
templates but as I recall, they don't seem to work for us which is why we start
with a blank document.

Don't you think that Apple doesn't feel pushed to work around that issue of
tables because many people virtual ice Windows to solve this? I don't think it
would be so difficult to make this accessible. I think that if the Voice Over
community makes pressure on the topic may be they will star working more
seriously on it. If no one complains because we have an external solution, they
don't feel it is so important. But More than one would be delighted if he or
she doesn't need to go back to Windows to make a table or spreadsheet.
Take care!
