Hi Donna, I have to admit I’m more a windows user than a mac user, But the times I have tried to use word 2016 on the mac, I’ve found it more of an issue than the windows version, Part of this I think is familiarity of the product, But my question would be why do you have to use word when pages can do pretty much the same thing now days?
As for windows on your mac, you need to go with what is going to work for you the best. Office 2016 needs jaws 18 where as vo will work with office 2016 on the mac. Probably not that helpful but I think for most usage you’d be fine with office for the mac From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Donna Goodin Sent: Monday, 10 April 2017 1:39 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Outlook 2016 or Apple mail Hi John, Thank you. This is really helpful and good to know. I'm hoping I can just install Word, and not have to deal with the whole office suite, but I am not sure about that yet. Just curious, is there anyone on list who has experience with both using Word for the Mac, and running Word in Windows using Fusion? Which gives the better experience in Word? That's obviously another option. I have no interest in polluting my Mac by putting Windows on it, but if there is a good reason to, I would consider it.

I have not tried anything complex however. Office 2016 has both Macintosh style menus and also a ribbon, I believe there are more options embedded in the ribbon, though the ribbon is not as keyboard interactive as it is on Windows. You have to interact with the ribbon, select the category from the top row, then move down and interact one more time to get to all the controls there. I expect that one could use the item chooser in two quickly get to a ribbon item, but I have only tried that in Outlook where even in my 2016 15 inch Mac Book Pro I escape out of the item chooser before it brings up a list of items because it is too slow..

I'm looking at some contract work that would require me to use Word, so trying to figure out whether to do it on a PC, or whether I could just use my Mac.

I should have looked at the group I was responding too. However, I have outlook 2016 on my IPhone and, do find it a lot easier to use then the apple mail app. I find that it conveniently separates mailing list messages from messages addressed directly to me, and it does so automatically. The notifications it creates on the lock screen are also useful. I think Microsoft Outlook for iOS demonstrates that programmers in Redmond have been paying attention to accessibility. I have it installed on the Mac as well, but I haven't had enough experience with that version to comment. Basic accessibility is present, but I don't know how good it is or what limitations may exist. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
