These are from old MS word files.
At least that gives me a start, thank you so much.

When you say they put documents in Pages, what kind of documents were they?
Here’s a quick start on how to get into a document in Pages.
Open the document, say by command o when you are on it in the Finder, or by
opening it within Pages.
Under the standard setup, there is an area that has the tool bar, the
document layout area, and the formatter group.
Vo arrow to the document layout area and interact.
If you can’t find the document layout area, you can use the iVoiceover item
chooser to find it, do VO i and pick it form the list. There might be a lot in
the item chooser, the document I’m in has 292 items in there, so you can just
type doc and it should find it.
Once you have interacted with the document layout area, you will find things
like the header group, body, footer group etc. Once you find body, might say
body page 1 of 2 or the like, interact and you will be in your document. Then
use your arrow keys to move around.
If you know you want to find the body right off, you can use the item chooser
for that too. Use VO i, type in bod and you’ll get a list of everything that
starts with those letters. VO arrow down to body page 1 of 1, or howerver many
pages are in your document and hit VO space to move to it. There are a couple
of other things that start with bod, like style selecter buttons, so just
listen for it to say body page and it should get you to where you want, then
interact.
If your documents include tables or footnotes, they will also be in that
document layout area. VO arrow left and right through it, interacting with what
you need to.
Are you migrating from MS Word on Windows? it’s a slightly differnt mindset
that takes a bit to get used to, let me know if you need more specific
instructions than I’ve offered here and I’ll to be as precise as possible. Oh,
one of the mindsets I’ve encountered is that there are more ways to do the same
thing on Mac than on Windows, so others on the list might have way more
efficient ways to do what I’ve described.
Cheers,
Ian
