Hello, I took a look at this again. I interacted with the Document pane, but there is no access to the edit text that has been process. VO did not echo character, word, or both and there I couldn’t get any navigation with VO to work. I knew that there was words processed because when I tabbed to the word count it stated 15 words. The unlabeled button to the right of that activates the spell checker. I have sent MS feedback about the issues regarding VO accessing the document pane edit field. If others are finding the same, it takes a village to get someone to look at the problem and maybe have a chance that it will be fixed. JMO.
