Any OS X training out there?

Hi all,

I've loved my Mac since I switched in 2010, but I've never been good at making documents that look pretty, even when I used Windows all the time. lol There are several ways to get good training on how to use MS Office in Windows with a screen reader. For example, FS has webinars on using word/power point/excel with JAWS, and there's also the cisco academy. Thing is, I don't wanna have to buy a copy of Windows 8 and Office and BookCamp it just to do that.

People say just use iWork, which would be great and all, but is there any training on how to use it effectively with VoiceOver? I used to help produce a newsletter, and trying to do that in Pages made me wanna throw my Mac out the window because of the annoying issues with selecting text on multiple pages. I've also read comments on here though that say people use Pages for college work and other stuff, and it makes me wonder how?

Ther are key strokes to help you work iffecently with pages. I'd say first start with learningn the enspecter. You will be using that a lot. I hope to one day make a pages tutorial, but because of the issues of selecting multaple pages in pages I cannot.
