Hi Anne, Thanks for your reply. It seems that for this particular document, I don't have a layout item to interact with after interacting with the layout area. No matter what I do, if I try to interact or move around with VO after interacting with the layout area I only get the boundary reached sound. I've been through the whole Numbers window with VO to see if I'm missing something and I can't find any other area to interact with other than the layout area from within the scroll area. I can create and manipulate data in a regular Numbers file, but not this one.
Is there a way, perhaps, that I can copy the contents of the problem file over to a new one while still preserving the formatting etc? Any further help would be appreciated.
