Hi,

The styles menu doesn't work with vo. There is an element to the left of the tule bar called drawer that you interact with. You will find of of the things you need in there.
Hope that helps.

Hello,

Now I am gradually getting back to normal after several months of building work on my house I am trying to get to grips with Pages again. I have compiled a small archive of messages about this program and found it most useful. However, when it comes to giving a paragraph a particular style the instructions I have just do not work. This is what I have done.

1. Selected a paragraph.
2. Opened the Styles Drawer with CMD+Shift+T.
3. Stopped interacting with all elements of the document including the Scroll area. 4. Navigate the menu bar with VO+left Arrow. At this point I was not surprised to find that the text became unselected as that is what I found happened when formatting characters and was told on this list that this deselection was quite normal.
5. The Styles Menu was obviously dimmed.
6. I thought this might be something to do with cursor tracking so I turned it off after I had done steps 1 and 2 above.
7. I then repeated the other steps and the Styles menu was not dimmed.
8. I brought the mouse pointer to the VO Cursor and clicked on the menu.
9. The menu opened but the only thing VO reported was a Check Box and no list of styles or a list of keys I could attach to a style. I could not use the arrow keys or VO+arrow keys or the tab key to move anywhere. I could only close the menu.

I know it would probably be a good idea to take Anne's course on Pages but before doing so I would like to get a few concepts clear in my mind. I think I just have made a basic error when following the instructions. So, if anyone could point out my error it would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Chris
