Good afternoon,

Just as an FYI, MS Office for Windows isn't actually compatible with Windows 
screen-readers.  There is a great deal of scripting required in order to make 
windows screen-readers work with MS Office products.

I'm not saying that your campaign won't work.  But, I just wanted to point out 
that MS Office isn't actually natively accessible on either platform.
