If you haven't yet told Apple accessibility about your need for support of 
tables in word processor documents, please do so.

Tables are well supported on the web, and while I know that's a different 
animal to tame, it shows they can be clever enough to figure it out when they 
put energyinto it. 

This speaks to the need for VoiceOver to mature and evolve in response to the 
needs of users, so users need to let 'em know what we need.

Cheers,

Ian
