TK: You'll need to turn cursor tracking off to perform these actions. • Select the text you wish to format. • Turn Cursor Tracking off by pressing VO-Shift-f3 (add FN on a Laptop). • Stop Interacting with the Layout area. • Navigate to the respective formating control. • Don't forget to turn Cursor Tracking on again (same command as turning it off), otherwise you may be frustrated with some actions of VO. > JJH: Also, on a related note, how can I tell what page of a document I'm on? TK: This part of the document doesn't appear to be read by VO. You could go to the Toolbar, activate the View pop-up menu and turn on thumbnail view which would allow you to quickly see how many pages you have and instantly navigate to specific pages. Not exactly what you're looking for but hope it helps.
