Hi, First of all, vo doesn't see bullets if lists are done through auto formatting in word or auto correct in pages. The only way for that to work that I see is for Apple to fix it which they don't sem in any hurry to do.
As far as tables, text boxes, and other objects, there are ways to work with them but not very conveniently. With vo, you can read and edit them quit easily as long as they are floating. At this time however, vo cant read in-line objects. In-line means that they are embedded in the document. It is posable to know that they are there by moving the insertion point over them. When you do, you will hear vo say "hi-lited". Now, do the fallowing: Make sure "show inspector" is selected in the view menu. Vo-f2 twice to find the inspector window. Select the rap radio button Select the floating radio button Now you will be able to find and work with the object in question with vo in the layout area. If the object is a table, you can also select "transform table to text" from the format/table menu. Of course, the best solution is for Apple to fix these problems. In my opinion, if vo could see auto formatted bullets and in-line objects, pages and vo would be far superior to ms word and Windows screen readers. I may have left something out, so let me know if anything is unclear. Hope that helps. On Dec 13, 2009, at 5:01 PM, Daniel K.
