Using the Office 365 version of Microsoft Word for Mac, I’m not finding that the cursor jumps around unexpectedly. I can read comments, but I’m not sure how to move to the place in the text associated with a comment. VO-J doesn’t achieve the desired result.

I'll try and create a document and share it so that you can see what I mean. It's really crazy. Every time I try to read a comment, the comment doesn't correspond to the place where I last was in the text. For some reason I also keep randomly being moved around in the document, for example, it jumps to the end, even though I did not make it do that. I really don't understand at all how this could be usable. My plan is just to use Pages, and then re-export to word. I'll just have to check and make sure all fonts an formatting stick.

I can't imagine the best solution for you would be to use pages to review updates and then do actual changes in Word.

It’s definitely easier to follow in windows the native on the Mac.

I agree with those who said Word is very accessible. Microsoft has done a pretty good job with this. But for my purposes, Pages works better. A major factor in my decision is that, while you can see changes and comments in Word, you can't tell what text they are linked to. In Pages on the other hand, this is very clear. Since that is important for my job, I think Pages will be most useable, and I'll just have to be extra careful about document fonts. I just thought I'd post this in case it's of interest to anyone.
