Have you tried opening the file in a browser, such as Safari, Chrome or even Brave on your Mac?

Thanks for your response. As I mentioned, in Text Edit, I am not being able to read paragraph by paragraph. When Voiceover moves to a new page, it reads the first paragraph character by character. The subsequent paragraphs are read properly, and then once again after a page break, I encounter the same problem.

I have tried all possible options, with quick nav on and off, as well as keyboard commanders.

For things of that length I usually convert to text and read in TextEdit. I’ve never had a problem with that.

Hi

What is the best way to read book length documents on Mac?

I have large Word files from my Windows computer. These files take a lot of time loading on Mac when I open them on Word.

With Pages and Text Edit, I am facing a strange problem. I prefer to read paragraph by paragraph. But whenever Voiceover encounters a page break, it starts reading character by character.

I have taking this issue to Apple Accessibility and they have not been able to help.

My Word documents are 300 to 400 pages long. Can anyone please advise?

Thanks,

Moiz.
