well, if you are opening a document this might not matter, but if you are starting a new document, typing seems only possible if you choose the blank template category. Be careful because blank is a class of templates and there blank templates in each of the other classes and you need to use the blank template class.

Thanks, David. Can you say more about what you mean by "with the right template"? Sorry if this is a dumb question. Since I'm still on the fence about keeping the Mac, I haven't opened IWork yet, because I was hoping to return it if I don't keep the computer.
Thanks,
Donna

it is not but I believe pages will do what you need. open office is free and will probably do this too but since you already have pages, once you get it oing with the right template, it should be fine.

Hi all,

I have chatted with a couple other Bookshare volunteers, and it seems that Text Edit will not do the trick, as it doesn't preserve page breaks. I think I recall some discussion a few weeks back about Office not being accessible, but wanted to clarify. Is Word for the Mac accessible?
Thanks,
Donna
