Hi everyone,

I've been on vacation mode on this list since the end of January.  I spent the 
month of February at Leader Dogs in Rochester Michigan training with my guide 
dog, Joey.  I've been a cane user for 26 years now, and decided to see if a 
guide dog might  enhance my life... don't ask how it's going! LOL

I am club secretary for the Toastmaster club I belong to.  As such, I need to 
take meeting minutes.  I've been using my laptop with Windows 7 to do this, but 
am finding Windows slow and sluggish surprise, surprise! LOL

I want to use my Mac to do the minutes, but so far, am not able to figure out a 
way to get font, alignment and style information using VO.  I'm having a bit of 
success using Pages, but, is there a way to get VO to read the font size, 
alignment, i.e. distance from left margin, and, style information, i.e. heading 
1, heading 2, etc.?

I've tried Pages, Open Office, Nissus Writer, and Text Edit, but can't find a 
way to gather this pertinent information.

What are you folks using for word processing?  How are you handling document 
formatting?

Thanks for any and all help!

Best,

Russell>
