Hi All,
I am an academic and a new Mac user. I have started reasonably well, learning from John Panarese’s tutorials and other materials available online. As a researcher and scholar, I need to read and engage with multiple book length documents at the same time. My initial impression about Microsoft Word is that it does not work well with large documents on Mac. So I am trying out Text Edit and Pages. But here is a strange problem. When I open a book length document on Text Edit/Pages/Word on Mac, I first interact with it to read the text. I use the quick arrow keys and my own commander shortcuts to read paragraph by paragraph. Voiceover starts alright, but as it moves to a new page, it announces page break and I hear the beep sound indicating either entering invisible or visible section. After this, Voiceover weirdly begins to read character by character. It works fine when I go to the next paragraph. But the same problem occurs once again when Voiceover moves to the next page. This is extremely annoying, and I want Voiceover to read paragraph by paragraph smoothly across pages. The books I am reading are in Word format which I am opening in Text Edit and Pages. What settings do I need to change to stop Voiceover from getting stuck on pagebreaks? As I mentioned, I need to work with large documents and I am looking for the best way to do this on Mac. Warmly, Moiz. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
