Hello Anne, I am able to find headings in Pages with vo-command-s and vo-shift-command-s. I don’t know why that doesn’t seem to work for everyone.
The problem with monitoring a hotspot on the paragraph styles button is that it appears they set the accessibility description to something other than what the button title says. It is an example of them seemingly not understanding how their own accessibility system is supposed to work. The accessibility description should never be set on a standard element with a text title. It would take them seconds to correct that. You may want to update your bug report with this.

So find next heading, find next link, find next bold text, find next text with same attributes, and so on, still don’t work in Pages. Something that’s worse in the new Pages is the inability to set a hotspot on the paragraph style and check it without jumping to the formatter. I submitted a bug report about this stuff some years ago so I suppose I’d better do it again, for what it’s worth. I don’t think there are enough of us using Pages with VO to have much impact.
