Hi Brian,
Your able to create paragraphs and other stuff.
I did download from the App Store.
Another thing to consider is Pages.
Not sure about a guide as such.
All the best,

Thanks for this man, I appreciate it. Did you download from the mac app store
or from their website? I did download it, but the only thing that I saw that
was dimmed was the footnote feature. Thought that was strange though, but
didn’t know if you could shed any light on this. I’ve just been having a look
around. Looks very accessible with voiceover. I am assuming that I can go
ahead and hide the ruler since it looks like every thing you need is in the
menus. Are you able to actually create your own paragraph styles like you
could in microsoft word? For example, for my papers in college, I have to
write in Terabian format, so was wondering if I could create paragraph styles
for my default paragraph style and also for my heading styles and things like
that. For citations and bibliographies, I am assuming that you have to
manually create your own citations and bibliography/works cited page. Looks
very good though with voiceover. I was very impressed. I could see myself
using this over pages possibly. Is there a manual to learn how to use the word
processor? I read the read me first document, but was curious to see if there
was a manual for learning how to use it. Thanks for recommending and turning
me on to this. I had never heard of it before. Much appreciated.

Hi Brian,
iText Express will do what you want.
I too use it for college.
Here's the Mac App Store description:
iText Express is a cute, intuitive, and refined text editor with simple word
processing completely rewritten in Cocoa. iText Express provides the simplest
way to make gorgeous manuscripts on your Mac!
iText Express has lots of functional and attractive features it shares with
word processor, besides giving good vibes by fully complying with Mac OS X.
iText Express blends seamlessly into the OS X environment, and will continue to
grow with the power of Mac OS X.
iText Express follows the original simplicity of Macs, and perfectly covers
every feature of TextEdit basics and Microsoft(R) Word compatibility as well.
iText Express even supports still more lovely features including header/footer,
footnotes/endnotes, page layout and numbers, multiple columns, hyperlinks,
bookmarks, and vertical writing, yet is so much easier to use.
iText Express will definitely make your writing a pleasure. Remarkable for
anyone who expects a reliable simple word processor for Mac OS X
Any more questions feel free to write back.
All the best,
Sadam Ahmed

Hi Sadam,
I am trying to learn pages myself, but can you tell me a little more about
Itext express? I am assuming that it is another word processor option.
Currently, I am in grad school right now, and am looking for something that
will allow me to do pretty advanced formatting for papers such as foot notes
and citations and bibliographies, like I said I do know that pages will work
for me, but was just curious to hear about this option. Thanks so much,
Brian

Hi,
Office on the Mac is accessible however no where as good as the Windows version.
There always going to prioritize the Windows client first.
For working with documents I use the excellent Pages or iText express.
Kind regards,

Hi Ladies,
Tha'ts officece 2011 for the mac and office 2013 for the windows platform.
No office 2011 and earlier versions of office on the mac were not accessible
with voiceover,
Office 2016 is meant to be accessible but I've not tried it myself,
The issues were due I believe to how the mac versions of office were coded,
MS hadn't taken accessibility in to account.

There was never any claim made for the accessibility of office 2013 on the
Mac. Unless you misspoke and meant 2016, your complaint has no basis in
reality, since the inaccessibility of all previous office versions on the Mac
was well known and much complain about.

Cheree Heppe here:
I purchased MS Office 2013, a purchase I continue to regret.
It's my guess that totally blind testers are scarce in Microsoft cosmology,
while partially sighted testers who meet the legal definition of blindness and
make directors and managers comfortable around blindness, work for what looks
modern, without letting the function paradigm trouble the waters overly much.
Universal accessibility for them becomes a floating, situational impediment
instead of a standard.
Of course, such dodging and compromising significantly impacts consumer
productivity, giving blind users who pay full price for such programs as
Microsoft's offerings, three-fifths of the access.

Hi,
Glad it works for you. :)
Just FYI, if you go to the Help menu in any of the Office Apps and type
“Accessibility” in the search box, you will get a page telling about all the
Accessibility features in each Office app, and what works and what doesn’t
currently work, if anything, with assistive technology, including VoiceOver, in
this case.
Hope this helps,
Jeffrey

My bad as for some reason it took awhile for th first excel doc to open.
Strange as it was an image for five minutes then the doc appeared. Definitely
weird, but seems to be working now.

Hey all,
Curious as I thought I had read that Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac was
accessible? I am running the latest build of El Cap, and I got everything
installed, and just tried opening a excel document and all VoiceOVer keeps
reading is image image image. Nothing will get me out of it not return, VO
space, tab. Any ideas? Thanks,
