<h2><a name="_Toc285195701" id="_Toc285195701"><strong>Usage Notes</strong></a> </h2>
<p></p>
<h3><strong>Overview</strong><strong><strong> </strong></strong></h3>
<p>At the time of testing (February, 2011),  Numbers &lsquo;09 was found to be relatively accessible using keyboard navigation. In  addition, screen reader testing appeared to show that use is possible with  VoiceOver OS X 10.6, with some limitations.</p>
<h3><strong>Testing Details</strong></h3>
<p>Screen reader testing was performed using  VoiceOver OS X 10.6.<br />
    Keyboard navigation testing was performed on  OS X 10.5.8.</p>

<p>In this test, the evaluator used a screen  reader to explore a pre-existing test document that had been created by a  sighted colleague, following the &ldquo;Authoring Techniques for Accessible Office  Documents: iWork Numbers &lsquo;09&rdquo;. The test document included the elements in the  left-hand column (i.e., heading, table of contents, etc.).</p>

<p>For the most part Numbers performed as    intuitively as a VoiceOver user would expect for an Apple product.</p>
<p>The sheet (table) could be navigated with    standard VoiceOver table navigation commands, or with the arrow keys    alone.&nbsp; Note that using the arrow keys    alone did not always appear to work properly, no navigation would occur.&nbsp; Using shift + arrow keys was the only way    to select a range of cells.</p>
