You are! You gotta do like George said.
I'm uploading the preview to my public Dropbox for you guys now to make it
easier. This way you guys have a direct download link to the .pkg file.
But, meanwhile, here is what you need to do.
Open up Word.
Get yourself into a document, be it a blank document, or whatever.
Go to your menu bar with VO+M.
VO+Right arrow over to the help menu and open it up with vo+down arrow.
Vo+down arrow until you get to Check for updates, then hit VO+Space.
Hit VO+Space on the check for updates default button.
Now, you'll get a table. By default, you'll probably see an update to
Microsoft Updater in this table. You'll also see it's checked to be
installed and that its size is just over a meg.
Go ahead and navigate with Voiceover to where you need to be in order to
install that update. I won't talk you through that, as the screens here are
100% accessible.
If it asks you to close updater before installing, or to choose install
later, go ahead and hit vo+space on the option to close and install.
Once it's installed go back to that same window you were at after going into
the help menu and to check for updates. It should still be up, but you
might have to possibly command+tab to find it. Once you've done this,
again, hit the check for updates default button.
Now, in the table, you should see Microsoft Word Preview 15.9. Now mind
you, I don't know if you have to update to this in order to then get up to
the accessible 16.9, or if the original poster made an error in that version
number. I've not quite yet gotten that far. I'm in the process of doing
this with you right now as I type this, so I'll let you know if there are
further steps, once I know. Anyway, this Word Preview 15.9 installer should
say it's about 700MB in size, give or take a little bit here or there.
Again, it already should be checked. Just navigate as usual, let it
download, then once it's done, go through the installer like normal. Then,
close Word, if it doesn't make you do so already, and once this 15.9 update
has been installed, relaunch Word, then try it out. If it still doesn't
work, then perform these steps to check for updates again until it says
there are no updates available. If then it doesn't still work, then I will
need to research things further.
Chris.
