Hello Rafael, thanks for your hints. So far Tables works fine. But what I meant was how to edit a cell and change inserted content. That doesn't work here for me. As far as I could find out I have to enter the edit mode of a chosen cell by pressing F2. VO anounces "edit". But then it's not po

Hi, no, the zoom level is set to 8 times, and no larger. the issue is that Voice Over appears to be doing an awful lot of repeating, so it starts to speak, stops, and then starts again. another issue is in Mail, we have the preview pain at the bottom of the message table, when one message is h

Tables has a data entry field. That is where data are entered into each cell. If you cannot find the data entry field on your own, you may benefit from sighted help to find it the first time. Place your cursor in the field, making sure VO is not locked. You can then type or paste in data and

Not 100% sure what you are asking. What I think of when navigating by letter is the usual ability to jump to something in a set of items by hitting the first letter or two to match an item's name. For example, if I do a VO-M to jump to the menu bar I can then hit the letter O to go to the Optio

Could you mean navigating by character? You can do that in a text editor with the arrow keys. In Safari, it's a bit trickier, as you first have to interact with the text. You can also press VO-c to read the current character or VO-w twice to spell a word. This is all without Quick-nav. If you wa
