Actually, it's possible that the stand-alone version of Microsoft Office 2016 does not contain all of the accessibility features. It's the Office 365 version that is updated regularly with new features and enhancements, and which will probably become Microsoft Office 2019 at some point. That's why I recommended installing the version from Office 365, and against buying the stand-alone version.
