The rumours are that the complete rewrite of Office for the Mac will
indeed provide and interface and content that is more accessible to
Voiceover.
This is apparently because the rewrite is being done in more standard
Apple Coco programming language but I am no expert in this.
There is allegedly some evidence of this in as, I say, One Note and the
new version of Outlook but apparently we have to wait until next year
for the substantive rewrite of Office in terms of applications like
Word and Excel.
Still it will be a welcome development if it comes along. A fully
featured and accessible version of Office on the Mac may well tip some
more people into switching from Jaws etc to Voiceover on the Mac.

Subject: Re: [Mac-access]: Outlook Express E-mails on Mac
Whenever I save emails on what ever platform I always save them as text to
provide maximum portability.
I no longer use Outlook Express but suspect that within Outlook Express you
could re-save them as text.
Alternatively you could forward them to your email on the Mac from within
Outlook.
Express. There seems some promising indications that the new generation of
Office Products will be accessible to Voiceover on the Mac. One Note is
apparently already accessible and there have been some reports of improved
accessibility in the Mac version of Microsoft Outlook so that may be an
option for importing OE emails in a similar way to the Windows client.

I have kept e-mails as important files. They were in Outlook Express.
Will I be able to read any part of these on the Mac or not?
