Hmm, maybe not. At least that would explain it. Hopefully they'll fix in 2016, bu I've been doing more playing around with Pages, and I think I can make it work. And my old PC hasn't croaked yet, so I still have time to sort things out. Makes me glad I only paid $20 for Office, though. :)

Hi Jason, It sounds like we're experiencing the same difficulty associating comments with their place in the text. I'm kind of relieved by that - I was starting to wonder about what you had said about 365 getting major accessibility updates, that perhaps Office 2016 did not get. I don't know

Hi John, I can't share a work document. I'll try and create a document and share it so that you can see what I mean. It's really crazy. Every time I try to read a comment, the comment doesn't correspond to the place where I last was in the text. For some reason I also keep randomly being

Hi, all. I'm not too optimistic about getting a response on this, having looked through the archives, but I would be so grateful for any help. How can one successfully navigate and edit tables in Pages or Text Edit or both? I find any interaction with tables in both apps, (and yes, I am

My husband and I both use apple watches to track fitness. It works quite well. Before getting Apple watches, we both used a plain Fitbit band. The Fitbit app for the iPhone is quite accessible. Or I should say was. That was about two years ago, but if they made it accessible in the first

Apple Watch is probably your best bet for iOS compatibility and accessibility. It runs VoiceOver natively, so you can check your fitness progress, handle notifications, change settings, and run apps right on the device. It also syncs to iOS, letting you use the Activity app on your phone to
