I have only just started using Word on my Mac by utilising my 365 subscription.
As far as I am aware I have the latest update but when I go to the About Word menu it says I have version 15.14 (150911) and not Version 16. However my version does seem largely assessable. In my version I am not seeing the behaviour you describe. I can option both left and right arrow and hear Voiceover announce words just fine. I can also get the same result by using VO right and left arrow. This may be a workaround for your problem. > On 29 Sep 2015, at 22:28, 'Jim Fettgather' via MacVisionaries > <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> wrote: > David Griffith > Hello, I am wondering if anyone has had any luck with Option Right Arrow > reading word by word in a document? > Option left arrow seems to read prior word just fine, but I cannot get the > option right arrow to read. > However, option shift right arrow does read highlighted text. > Thanks for your thoughts. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "MacVisionaries" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to macvisionaries+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com > <mailto:macvisionaries+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com>. > To post to this group, send email to macvisionaries@googlegroups.com > <mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com>. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries > <http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries>. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout > <https://groups.google.com/d/optout>. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
