Hi Ladies, Tha'ts officece 2011 for the mac and office 2013 for the windows platform.
No office 2011 and earlier versions of office on the mac were not accessible with voiceover, Office 2016 is meant to be accessible but I've not tried it myself, The issues were due I believe to how the mac versions of office were coded, MS hadn't taken accessibility in to account. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Mary Otten Sent: Sunday, 5 June 2016 4:05 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: I thought Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac was suppose to be accessible There was never any claim made for the accessibility of office 2013 on the Mac. Unless you misspoke and meant 2016, your complaint has no basis in reality, since the inaccessibility of all previous office versions on the Mac was well known and much complain about.
