If you are new to the Mac and it is It the basics you are after then never fear there are already loads of resources out there. I would recommend David Woodbridge's Vision Australia podcasts on using the Mac. Chapter 7 of the Getting started with voiceover guide will also take you through the basics of using applications like Mail etc. Apple Vis is also a good source of help.
The big gap is not help for beginners, there is loads of stuff out there for that. The gap is for the next level up for intermediate/ advanced for which there is virtually nothing on the Office productivity side.

What should i assume if anything? If I were to do this would anyone be interested? Please bare in mind that this would be a side project and would need to fit around other things. So, it might take some time to emerge.
