Thanks for your responses, Backy and Anne. Hot spots are one area I haven't dealt with in Voice Over yet. I've only been using this for about a month so far. I've used Open / Libre Office quite a bit in Linux and I have had Office experience over on that other platform <sigh>. I just haven't heard really good feedback about office work on the Mac. I thought Open Office was supposed to be a strong contender at one time; did that die off? I hear the price for iWork is not too bad though.
Any more ideas?
