Word works pretty well. You may run into a little difficulty with complex editing tasks, but most things will work fine. I found tables a little inconsistent. I use custom bullets in one of the documents I create, and there’s no way to identify with VO which one I’m selecting. I’ve also discovered that things tend to work better with cursor tracking off. I can’t really speak to how well it compares to Pages, since because of compatibility and familiarity I have stuck with Word.
Excel is another matter. Maybe others who have been using the Mac longer would be able to work with it, but I found it nearly impossible. Navigating the screen, though cumbersome, is doable. Editing cells was another matter. I would try to edit one and end up editing a completely different cell. I gave up on it and imported the sheet to Numbers. Power Point isn’t so great either. I have rarely gotten VO to speak while trying to edit the contents of an item in a slide. I have not tried it with Keynote. Mostly what I have to do is small edits on someone else’s work, so I put up with it in order to insure that the file I save as a .ppsx will work on the Windows laptop where it will be used. I can’t speak to Outlook, though others on this list say that it works well. As for which is best, I guess that will depend on what you need to do. Everyone here will have an opinion. <smile> > On Apr 18, 2017, at 2:28 PM, Brian Howerton <bshowert...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello folks, > What is the status of microsoft word 2016 accessibility on the mac, or office > for that matter?
