Please let Apple hear this. accessibility@xxxxxxxxx They need to know we blind people are serious about all the fine points of documents. I have this exact problem. I'd fail any course using my Mac because I wouldn't be able to write an essay with correct formatting.

Hi Marie. I believe there is a submenu under edit which says insert. In that insert submenu, you can choose page breaks. I was having some trouble with the submenus last night but it was late and I'll play later today. They weren't pulling down when I tried to get into them.Now I'm going to vent. I really whish Apple would very seriously get its act together and get these word processor issues to work well, once and for all. I can't help but be very frustrated because if one wants to keep a job in the real world, serious attention is needed for the fine points of working with a word processor. I sometimes get the feeling Apple thinks we blind people have nothing else to do and no interest in anything but playing with the Apple as a toy and using things like I-Tunes. I have nothing against I-Tunes and those who use it, but I would never keep my job for more than about a half hour using my Apple for word processing, because there is just too much I don't know and can't control about my documents,. That is totally unacceptable in this day and age. Yes, things are getting better but accessible Apple is not ready for prime time or the real world yet and that is disappointing in my view.Mary Anne Lynskey----- Original Message ----- From: "Marie Howarth" <marie.jane2005@xxxxxxxxx>To: <macvoiceover@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, September 06, 2009 9:29 AM Subject: [macvoiceover] Re: Word Processing with SLis there a way of insterting page numbers in a text edit doc.

I was very happy to see that attributes are working much better with SL.I have a few questions.First, I understand that it is now possible to tell what page you are on using SL. How do you determine that?I of course have Text Edit and Nisus Writer. But I'm also interested in Pages too.My next question is the ability to find a page break in a document. Can that be done and how? I imagine it could be done with find but is there a way of physically finding a page break while reading the doucment?Thank you all very much. -- Mary Anne LynskeyClick on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.comManage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below.//www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverUsers can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Web interface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverClick on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.comManage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below.//www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverUsers can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Webinterface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverClick on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.comManage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below.//www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverUsers can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Webinterface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverClick on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.comManage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below.//www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverUsers can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Webinterface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverClick on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.comManage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below.//www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverUsers can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Webinterface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverClick on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.com Manage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below. //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverUsers can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Webinterface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverClick on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.com Manage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below. //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverUsers can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Web interface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverClick on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.com Manage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below. //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverUsers can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Web interface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover
