What about trying to read it in “Presenter mode?” This simulates a printed
version and might reformat it so that VO won’t trip on the images or tables.

A couple possible paths I’ve gone down before…
Try using Text Edit. Because it is simpler it often bails on some of the
tougher layouts and just gives you the text. This gets tripped up by tables
though, so if you notice a lot of tables in the doc, stay clear of Text Edit.
You also can’t jumpt to pages quite as easily, but sometimes it is worth the
tradeoff.
If it’s not a protected document, you could try exporting it as plain text
then opening it back up in Pages. That might strip out a lot of the images
and formatting that can give you trouble, or it could mess up the format and
make it worse.

Hi everyone,
I downloaded a book titled "macOS Monterey for Dummies" from Bookshare in
Word format. I opened the document in Word for Mac, but it didn't read very
well, so I opened it in Pages. It reads a lot better in Pages, but I cannot
get VO to read continuously. Whenever VO comes across an image or the end of
a page, VO stops reading. At that point I will press VO + A to begin reading
again, but sometimes when I do this, the focus jumps back to the beginning
of the document, so I must try to find my place again. I can get back to the
page I was on by pressing Command + CTRL + G, and then typing the page
number I was on and pressing enter, but this happens often enough to make
reading the document quite frustrating and tedious. Does anyone know of any
tips to make the reading experience in Pages more pleasurable?
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Russell
