Well that would partially explain the discrepancy. Office 2004 was
written for panther and Microsoft hoped it would work with tiger. I'll be
buying leopard but it'll be sometime in 2008 since finances on this end
need straightening out first.

Office 2004 was released is, well, 2004 so it's getting a bit long in the
tooth as they say. I think VoiceOver wasn't released until OSX 10.4 which
came out in April 2005. So that would mean Office was released before
VoiceOver. That said, a new version of office is slated for January 2008 and
I would expect that one to actually work well with voiceover.

Apparently Microsoft and several other vendors were somehow grandfathered
in given the inaccessibility of Microsoft Office.
