Hi. I have not used footnotes. Nisus has made some great ways to navigate through the headings you have set, it is really easy to navigate in my opinion. To make entries to a table of content is very easy, and can be done in about 2 minutes, if you know what to search for. Nisus will work on V

HI Jürgen, I've never had the jumping around issue myself. I have had the issue you mention regarding VoiceOver reading the end of previous lines etcetera. However, I only seem to have it when I change direction from going down to up, or up to down. A similar thing happens while reading by word

Hello Anne, I agree that one can have the impression you described below. Fortunately There are no issues concerning german umlauts, not yet on the Mac. There are issues in iOS. Since version 6 VO can't read umlauts anymore and nothing happened so far to solve it. Yes I've already tried to pla

Hello Jürgen, For the jumping around problem, have you tried turning cursor tracking off or setting the mouse cursor to ignore the other cursors? Do you also find that in Preview, letters with an umlaut have the umlaut separated from the letter? This is a problem with accented letters in French

Hi Nicholas, at first: I'm using Preview in OS X 10.8.3 Mountain Lion and it's a catastrophy. I'm really experienced how to use programs on the Mac but I can't understand why some people in this list say it's good to use. I also discussed the issue with an Apple Senior Adviser and he confirmed

It does sound great. I'm actually now really happy with Preview, thanks to a few people on this list. It does everything I could want in a PDF reader. Even working with properly marked tables of contents. VoiceOver reads perfectly by line, word or character. I guess it doesn't read well by para

Hi Nicholas, I'm not yet totally familiar with all the functions of Nisus. But what I can say: footnotes apear in a separate window to which you have access by simply stop interacting with the text area and interact with the footnote area next to it. In the text VO will anounce the footnote numb

This sounds great. Does VoiceOver read out the footnotes as well as letting you insert them? And how well does VoiceOver work with the footnotes? Is it difficult but do-able, or simple and straight forward? Is it possible to navigate by heading, page or chapter? Is it possible to go to a partic

Hi Phil, Nisus Writer is quite accessible. Of course you can forget about tables but beside of that, it works fine as far as I can see. Headders, foot- and endnotes and even automatically created index works. VO doesn't recognizes the headders as such but the visual style is different from the
