Hi Everyone! I’m using Microsoft Word for the Mac as part of Office 2016 to write a couple of documents and the Word experience just keeps getting better for the Mac.
I much prefer to use the Mac version of Word these days compared to the Windows PC as the Mac menu system is there as well as the ribbon though even if Microsoft had chosen not to include a menu system then the ribbon would still be easily accessible. Somehow the Word ribbon makes more sense to me on a Mac than it does on the Windows PC and looks far better presented onscreen, that could be of course purely because I’m so used to navigating the screen on a Mac as a matter of course anyway. I’m extremely pleased to find that Microsoft have fixed the bug in Word where numbering wasn’t announced when cursoring through a list in a document, Word also reports when the user is entering into or exiting out of lists and so on. As list members will know I’m also fond of Word on the iPad. I hope Microsoft continue with the good work and its really about time we had access to the worlds most popular Word Processing package across platforms. And yes, we have Google Docs too! I’ve not explored Google Docs on the iPhone for quite some time but last time I was able to use it satisfactorily. Google Docs is perfectly accessible on Android devices and accessible on a Windows PC through the Window-Eyes Screen Reader and Google Chrome, I know there are Mac users who also use Google Docs through Chrome. ********** Those of a positive and enquiring frame of mind will leave the rest of the halfwits in this world behind.
