Absolutely! It may be a few hours, but I'm getting the file uploaded.
Please just be patient with me. I discovered that I don't have transmit
installed, bleh, so need to get that done too. Therefore I don't have a way
right now to upload via ftp. I guess I could use the terminal and do it,
but really? I'd so! rather not. LOL! I'm geeky enough to do so, I just
don't prefer it, therefore, uploading to my server isn't gonna be possible,
but! that said, I am getting it up on my Dropbox as a public share link.
Just hang tight with me. I'll get it to all you guys who haven't gotten it
already. It won't be the new update discussed here. You'll have to run the
software updater, but, alas, you'll get it once you do so.
Chris.

You are! You gotta do like George said.
I'm uploading the preview to my public Dropbox for you guys now to make it
easier. This way you guys have a direct download link to the .pkg file.
But, meanwhile, here is what you need to do.
Open up Word.
Get yourself into a document, be it a blank document, or whatever.
Go to your menu bar with VO+M.
VO+Right arrow over to the help menu and open it up with vo+down arrow.
Vo+down arrow until you get to Check for updates, then hit VO+Space.
Hit VO+Space on the check for updates default button.
Now, you'll get a table. By default, you'll probably see an update to
Microsoft Updater in this table. You'll also see it's checked to be
installed and that its size is just over a meg.
Go ahead and navigate with Voiceover to where you need to be in order to
install that update. I won't talk you through that, as the screens here
are 100% accessible.
If it asks you to close updater before installing, or to choose install
later, go ahead and hit vo+space on the option to close and install.
Once it's installed go back to that same window you were at after going
into the help menu and to check for updates. It should still be up, but
you might have to possibly command+tab to find it. Once you've done this,
again, hit the check for updates default button.
Now, in the table, you should see Microsoft Word Preview 15.9. Now mind
you, I don't know if you have to update to this in order to then get up to
the accessible 16.9, or if the original poster made an error in that
version number. I've not quite yet gotten that far. I'm in the process
of doing this with you right now as I type this, so I'll let you know if
there are further steps, once I know. Anyway, this Word Preview 15.9
installer should say it's about 700MB in size, give or take a little bit
here or there. Again, it already should be checked. Just navigate as
usual, let it download, then once it's done, go through the installer like
normal. Then, close Word, if it doesn't make you do so already, and once
this 15.9 update has been installed, relaunch Word, then try it out. If
it still doesn't work, then perform these steps to check for updates again
until it says there are no updates available. If then it doesn't still
work, then I will need to research things further.
Chris.
