Pages remembers the previous document type you chose. So if you always use a 
blank document, that's what will be offered. So you'd just have to open Pages, 
then go to last visible item and press VO-Space to choose it.

Before beginning to type your document, you would show the styles drawer 
(Cmd-Shift-T) where you would set hot keys for the various styles. These hot 
keys are F1-F8. You would then set a hotspot on the Paragraph Styles table. 
Then you stop interacting, navigate right twice and interact with the scroll 
area and the layout area.

In your document, you just have to be in the paragraph to change its style by 
pressing the hot key. You can check the style by pressing VO-Cmd-Number where 
number is the hotspot number.

To check spelling, use Cmd-Semicolon. Each misspelled word will be highlighted 
in turn.

I hope this makes things a bit clearer.

Cheers,
