Hi Christine,

The fact that Microsoft Office for Mac isn't accessible with Voiceover is 
mainly in Microsoft's court, where they decided to not use Mac OS X development 
tools and use non-standard controls, which don't work well with VoiceOver. I do 
hope that you are able to get a refund for a non-accessible Mac OS X 
productivity suite.

Text Edit will work as longas there aren't a lot of formatting, which you'll be 
importing/exporting. Nice thing with Text Edit is that it will even 
import/export .docx formats, which are used in Word 2007 and 2010. 

Pages is part of Apple iWork productivity  suite, which also includes Numbers  
and KeyNote. You can find it in Mac App Store, which requires at least Mac OS X 
10.6.6. If you need to work in documents, which are more involved in area of 
formatting; this is your best bet. 
Please do keep in mind that iWOrk 09 is Apple's first attempt in making it 
VoiceOver accessible, which means that there's quite a bit of room for 
improvement.
