Hi,
Office on the Mac is accessible however no where as good as the Windows
version.
There always going to prioritize the Windows client first.
For working with documents I use the excellent Pages or iText express.
Kind regards,
Sadam Ahmed

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.

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.

I purchased MS Office 2013, a purchase I continue to regret.
It's my guess that totally blind testers are scarce in Microsoft cosmology,
while partially sighted testers who meet the legal definition of blindness and
make directors and managers comfortable around blindness, work for what looks
modern, without letting the function paradigm trouble the waters overly much.
Universal accessibility for them becomes a floating, situational impediment
instead of a standard.
Of course, such dodging and compromising significantly impacts consumer
productivity, giving blind users who pay full price for such programs as
Microsoft's offerings, three-fifths of the access.

Hi,
Glad it works for you. :)
Just FYI, if you go to the Help menu in any of the Office Apps and type
“Accessibility” in the search box, you will get a page telling about all the
Accessibility features in each Office app, and what works and what doesn’t
currently work, if anything, with assistive technology, including VoiceOver, in
this case.
Hope this helps,
Jeffrey

My bad as for some reason it took awhile for th first excel doc to open.
Strange as it was an image for five minutes then the doc appeared. Definitely
weird, but seems to be working now.

Hey all,
Curious as I thought I had read that Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac was
accessible? I am running the latest build of El Cap, and I got everything
installed, and just tried opening a excel document and all VoiceOVer keeps
reading is image image image. Nothing will get me out of it not return, VO
space, tab. Any ideas? Thanks,
