Hi Brandon,
I don’t even believe there is a version of Microsoft Access available for Mac
OS X (accessible or otherwise). Therefore, there seems to be a misunderstanding
on their part about which version of Office is right for her.

That'll be a hard road for you I'm afraid. Iwork does not have an equivilant
to microsoft access that I know about. In this case, you might be stuck with
windows.

Not to respond for her, but they are actually trying to get her Office for the

Hi Christine,
It sounds like your workplace uses Windows. You will probably receive copies of
Microsoft Office for Windows and a Windows-based screen reader, such as JAWS
for Windows or Window-Eyes. If you intend to run these on your personal Mac,
you'll have to install Windows on your Mac (e.g

Thanks so much,

That is all fine and good. But it is more than accessibility. Even the sited
community says that the office suite for the mac is clunky, and not very user
friendly. So trust me if it were an accessibility thing, the suite wouldn't
need an update.

Hi all,
Microsoft Office will be releasing an updated version of its office suite of
apps for the Mac later this year. I haven't been looped in on any campaigns for
accessibility for the updates, but here's what I suggest.

it handles docx files no problem in the word processor, so it should bring in

I do not have Exchange setup on this machine, but best I recall you add it just
like any other mail account. Mail is pretty intelligent at figuring out the
type of account etc.
If you can't get it working, I will check my machine at the office.

Really, I'll have to give this a shot. Do you have a pointer for the
