Hello again will. Maybe I misunderstood something, but I thought you would want to use voiceOver at least part time for when your eyes get tired. I suppose what you could do is do what anne said and use Office which its author wrote as inaccessible to VoiceOver users and then switch to Pages when your eyes got tired. aPges only costs $21.64 U.S. dollars. I can see no reason why you couldn't switch back and forth if you wanted to.
