Hi
You can indeed read and create tables with VO in iWork, although it's not exactly obvious how to do it, and could be made more intuitive. However, iWorks is the only word processor on the Mac that will let VO users do this at all, no other will including Openoffice. I've also been able to interact with most, but not all, document objects. You are correct about the page and/or section breaks as far as I have noticed, however I've not found an easy way to do that with VO in any wordprocessor, though you eventually get the hang of checking what page you're on to get around this.

Well, here are my findings. in regards to pages

You cant create and edit tables with VO.

Vo doesn't read page or section breaks.
Vo doesn't seem to be able to recognize or interact with any objects embedded in the document. So as far as a blind person creating a technical document, it seems to not be possible.
I think that a blind person could get most things done with numbers, but I would categorize it as ruff.

So I was wondering whether to get iworks. i write and need to get a cV done but although I've played around a little in the apple store with pages, I was just wondering whether its worth buying it and how accessible is it with voice over?

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.
