Hello Anne,
Thank you for all this information. I think I need to spend a lot of time
with Pages and get much more experienced with VO. That is probably going to
be a bit of a problem given what is going on here at the moment. Anyway, I
will see what I can do.
Many thanks,
Chris
One question though, how would I assign

Hello Chris,
In Pages, leaving the text area using VO removes the selection so you can't
apply a style. You have to set a hotkey for the style you want and just
press it in the paragraph to which it should apply.
You can check on what style is in operation by setting a hotspot on the
Styles drawer. To do this, open the Styles drawer with Cmd-Shift-t, navigate
to it, make sure that you're not interacting with it and set a hotspot. You
can then use VO-Cmd-hotspot to discover what is selected in the Styles
drawer.
If you can't navigate within any text area, go there with VO, bring the
mouse and click.
There is a lot more than that to using Pages but it should help to get you
started.
Cheers,
Anne

Thanks to all who answered my questions. I am sorry I did not reply before
but I am up to my ears in boxes as I prepare for some major alterations to
my house. I am therefore also behind with my emails.
I think I gave rather a bad example with something as simple as making
text bold. I am in the UK and wrote the message at the end of a long and
tiring day. I will therefore give a very specific example.
I type some text in the body of a document and then stop interacting with
the various parts of the document as I make my way back to the formatting
bar and choose the paragraph style button.
Firstly I cannot read any of the items on the menu that appears as VO says
absolutely nothing. I did this at the Apple store and the trainer told me
the style and confirmed that it had been applied.
Then, when I went back into the document and interacted with the various
parts until I got to the body of the text I could not read the text I had
previously entered. I simply got a "dong" sound when moving either the VO
cursor or the actual cursor. This was because the actual text entry cursor
would not move any further than the header section of the document. We
tried doing everything we could think of with the cursor tracking but to
no avail.
I know there are some issues with Pages and Voiceover but I cannot believe
they are this bad. I am sure I am doing something very simple that is
wrong so please can anyone tell me what it is?
Once again, many thanks,
Chris Edwards
