Ah ha! Now that's where I probably read about the next version of MS
Office being accessible because of their Outlook app.

Hi Faisal,
I haven't heard anything official, either. But there are good signs. This fall,
Microsoft released a brand new version of Microsoft Outlook for Mac, available
to Office 365 subscribers. That version of Outlook appears to be very
accessible (e.g. the ribbon, reading and sending messages, and many other areas
of the program are working great). If the next version of Microsoft Office is
designed with as much accessibility in mind, it could turn out to be very
usable.
I'll point out that in my opinion, there is some accessibility built into the
Microsoft Office mobile apps for iOS but in many areas it is still lacking. For
example, in Word, I know of no way to create or edit tables.
Cheers,
Grant

Chris, I was just wondering where you heard this bit of information from? I ask
this because as far as far as I know, accessibility is not forthcoming as there
is no indication of this. Although the IOS apps are accessible, that is still
no proof that it will become accessibility on the Mac. A perfect example of
this is the official twitter app and twitterific amongst others.

Not yet, but it is expected that Office 2015 will be accessible just like the
individual apps for iOS. How accessible we won't know till they're released
sometime in 2015.

Hello,
i’m wondering if MS Office for the Mac is accessible with Voiceover? I’ve heard
it wasn’t in the past, but haven’t heard anything about this recently.
Thanks,
Brandon
