All that to jump to a desired cell?? That's a huge work-around. I thought the command in Excel and I know it is, just press f5 and type in the cell cordinate like G9 and hit Enter. Yeah, I sure hope Apple improves on this. Also, I need to find that bug report on Libreoffice and see if we can r

This is true. But I think most will agree who have used word and pages, you have to jump through many more hoops to get certain tasks done in pages. A lot more 6 and 7 step processes. From an accessibility stand point,I think iWorks just need to be streamlined, so one don't have to rely on so

I think it is also worth pointing out that Apple is still working on the next release of the iWOrks suite and will no doubt address some of the accessibility issues that do exist. Overall I would say the entire suite is reasonably accessible and of course accessible is a little subjective as wel

Hi Anne. I agree that Pages and Numbers work just fine. In fact, I like them better than Word and Excel. Numbers accepts Excel formulas, but in many cases, you can use tyhe function of Insert plus Function. I love that. The other thing is that VoiceOver is not as complicated as, say, Jaws to set

Open office used to speak as I type but I haven't tried it for a while, so I don't know if 10.7 broke it or an update to Open Office did. Maybe somebody on OSX 10.6 could try OpenOffice as a tie breaker. CB On 3/7/12 9:42 PM, Becky Knaub wrote: Hi guys Is it normal that these two programs do
