I was just wondering about this question today, after Jean raised it a few weeks back. That being if Pages could take the word file, make the comments and track changes available via voiceover, allow a person to do the edits, and save the file again in word to send back?

Hi,

I think this is till the case based on my recent test - however, it works well 
in pages it will read comments as you navigate through the text

When I last tried this (and it wasn???t recently ??? probably before buying my 
M1-based Mac), VoiceOver did identify comments in the text as annotations 
(???has comment???, if I remember rightly).
However, it wasn???t possible to navigate to the comment and then return to the 
place in the text to which the comment was attached. I think this is an issue 
to take up with Microsoft.

I should note that I???m only an occasional Microsoft Word user (on Mac OS or 
Windows). Most of my writing is in LaTeX, Markdown, or HTML ??? prepared in a 
text editor. That???s where my serious writing is done.

Subject: Ms Word and comments/track changes

I am also interested in this thread. I find 2 problems:
1. Although I can make the comments appear I can not reliably move back and 
forth between the comment and the exact place in the text to which the comment 
applies with voiceover.
2. My understanding is that voiceover is supposed to indicate places in a 
document where there is a track change by saying anotation. I can not get mine 
to do that.

Any help with these two questions would be appreciated.
Jean
