Hi all, The Office 2016 Preview can be directly and officially downloaded from Microsoft. Here is the link: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=523849
As others have mentioned, once downloaded and installed, updates can be installed by opening any of the Office apps, accessing the help menu, then choosing “check for updates”. To view more information about the Preview, access this link: https://products.office.com/en-us/mac/mac-preview To access the release notes for the April 14th update that includes improved VoiceOver accessibility, access this link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3048768 I can confirm that basic VoiceOver accessibility support is now present in Microsoft Word. Tables are recognized, though I did experience issues with entering and leaving them as well as reading their contents. Certainly it is not as simple as merely arrowing through a Word document, entering a table, and using TAB and SHIFT+TAB to move through cells as Windows users might be used to doing. The issue may well be simply that I’m not familiar with the app. I haven’t had time to check out the new Excel or PowerPoint yet, but Outlook has been pretty accessible for a while now. Ultimately, while there is surely room for improvement, this is huge news. I’m excited now that as VoiceOver users, we’ll be able to play with the preview apps and submit feedback to Microsoft throughout the beta cycle, and such feedback will now be more than “it doesn’t work”. :) Cheers!
