Yeah... I actually was the friend that Ben was referring to. I kind a see
that. I do! however wonder if Outlook has been made accessible with the new
version. I'll have to play with it later today and see, seeing that I've
not uninstalled office quite yet. I was waiting to get some kind of
response from you guys. I'm just perplexed where I thought I'd read online
that a new version had been released. I know things like Word, Excel, Power
Point, etc. were ported over to I O S, and oh, by the way, work flawlessly
for those wonderring, but I thought along with that, they'd also released a
new version for the mac which addressed the document content area problem.
Well... bummer! There went that idea, I guess. I'm not in the least bit
against using Pages, don't get me wrong. I do use it, actually. I just
figured it would be nice to have an alternative go to, if I felt in the mood
for something different. Plus, you all know me, I like trying new things,
and being a little bit adventerous.
Chris.

As I understand it only individual apps like Outlook and Onenote are
currently enjoying the accessibility improvements, the main apps will not
get the upgrade until later in 2015.

Hello all,
A friend of mine had downloaded Microsoft Word for OSX. he thought that
he had read somewhere that MS had released an accessible version for the
Mac. Office has been inaccessible on the Mac for some time now, so he was
looking forward to trying it out.
What's the status on this? I saw on AppleVis an article from July of this
year stating that it still wasn't fixed. I understand that he uses Pages.
It works flawlessly. But why should we not try to get to the bottom of
this issue with Office itself?
Belated merry Christmas,
Ben
