Hello Rowena, You should be able to use a hotkey to apply a paragraph style in Pages with VoiceOver on. It always works for me.
As for setting a new style and a hotkey, here is what to do. * Press VO-Space on the Paragraph styles button. * If you wish to ad a new style, press VO-Space again when you hear "New" and type the name of the new style then press Return. * Otherwise, navigate to the styles table. * Interact, find the style you want and press Return. * Otherwise, interact and find the style you wish to delete, rename, or for which you want to set a short cut. * Interact once more and navigate right once. * Bring the mouse. * If you hear menu button, press VO-Space to open the menu. * Otherwise, scoot the mouse away somewhere by swiping a finger across the trackpad and bring the mouse again. * This time you should hear menu button, so press VO-Space. * Select the appropriate action from the menu and press Return. * If you are renaming the style, just type the new name. * If you are deleting the style it will be deleted. * If you're adding a short cut, choose the one you want from the submenu and press Return.
