Pages with Mavericks

I recently upgraded from Mountain Lion to Mavericks and am having a small problem with Pages files. Previously, when I opened a Pages file, the Voiceover cursor was on the body of the text, ready to read and/or edit. Now, when I open a Pages file, the cursor is on the scroll area, and to get to

[Mac-access]: Mail with Yosemite

I'm just setting up a new macbook air, running Yosemite, and I've struck a problem with mail. I prefer to use classic view, and on my old machine, running Mountain Lion, I use the jump command (VO j) as a quick way to jump between the mailboxes list and the messages table. But with the new mach

Reading PDFs

f fixing the problem? So far, the best tool I've found for reading PDFs is VisioVoice, but I'd really like to use Preview if possible. I'm using a Macbook Air, with Lion (10.7.5). Thanks, Fred Smith <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, plea

Re: Mac App Store - PDF to Text

Thanks, I'll have a look at that. What's the advantage of using a program like this, compared to opening a PDF -- in Preview, for example -- selecting all and then pasting into a word processing program such as TextEdit? Fred On 10/11/2012, at 12:52 AM, Danny Noonan wrote: > Here's a direct l

Re: Why VoiceOver reads some PDFs strangely was Re: Skim Accessibility

I'm finding that Adobe Digital Editions 2.0 works quite well with PDFs . With VoiceOver, it will read continuously and without cutting off letters as Preview does (and Skim and Softcon, in my experience). ADE allows you to pause/restart, move up and down a page at a time, adjust the reading spee

Safari 6.1 bug?

I've just upgraded to Safari 6.1 and I wonder if anyone else has struck the same problem I'm encountering. Now, when I open a web page and ask for headings, Safari only announces one or two headings, even though I know there are more. For example, a Google search results page now announces onl

Editing and sharing documents

iles, some of the formatting is missing (even basic stuff like bold or italic). If I could use Word, all would be well, but it isn't VO-accessible. Can anyone suggest a word processor which is both VO-accessible and more compatible with Word? Open Office, perhaps? Thanks, Fred Smith <

Mail problems

Using Mail on my MacBook Air, I'm suddenly encountering two problems: 1) I can no longer jump use the Tab key to jump between the mailboxes and the messages table. Now, Tab just does nothing. There is a workaround, using VO-J, but Tab is more convenient. I've checked all the setting I can find but
