There was never any claim made for the accessibility of office 2013 on the
Mac. Unless you misspoke and meant 2016, your complaint has no basis in
fice 2016 is meant to be accessible but I've not tried it myself,

There was never any claim made for the accessibility of office 2013 on the
Mac. Unless you misspoke and meant 2016, your complaint has no basis in
reality, since the inaccessibility of all previous office versions

Once upon a time, after everything else did not work, blind people
participated in on site protests, complete with signs, slogans and songs.
One of those songs could just as well be adapted for the accessibility
issues dividing our productivity now.

I wonder if VO has been better at reading long documents in Word. Before in
Office 2016 VO read a couple of pages in a document and then all of a sudden
jumped back to the beginning for no apparent reason. Accessibility at Microsoft
says they’re continuing to work on making Office better, so i h
Well, they certainly should have known better at Microsoft. I hope you can get
your money back or at least get a free upgrade to the accessible version. I'm
not sure it's totally accessible. But people have reported good luck more or

That's a terrible loss of money. You should definitely ask for your money back
if possible, or see if you can upgrade to 2016. I enjoy Pages myself, but

It's my guess that totally blind testers are scarce in Microsoft cosmology,
while partially sighted testers who meet the legal definition of blindness and
make directors and managers comfortable around blindness, work
Hi,
Glad it works for you. :)
Just FYI, if you go to the Help menu in any of the Office Apps and type
“Accessibility” in the search box, you will get a page telling about all the
Accessibility features in each Office app, and what works and what doesn’t
currently work, if anything, with assistiv
My bad as for some reason it took awhile for th first excel doc to open.
Strange as it was an image for five minutes then the doc appeared. Definitely

Hey all,
Curious as I thought I had read that Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac was
accessible? I am running the latest build of El Cap, and I got everything
