My Braillino jumps out of the text in Pages regularly and displays the name of the window. I just navigate with the VO keys on my computer and focus is returned to the text. > Going back to Pages, I am curious if anyone has had success with creating > tables in pages in order to put information (such as columns with words and > definitions, dates and events, etc)?

We have to do it in Numbers and paste the table into the Pages document. We can only read them in Pages if we can locate the tables, highlight them and use the Format menu command Convert table to text. I prefer to read documents containing tables in TextEdit. However, we can produce very professional-looking documents with Pages. Have you looked at Applevis for information on accessible applications? It's a very useful resource. I can't help with the application for recording as I don't do that. Cheers, Anne -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
