you are correct that MS Office for mac is not accessible. there are some decent alternatives, although they all have some accessibility flaws we all get a bit fed up with.
what's available? Nisus writer pro. worth checking out if you're in need of a word processor. Iwork 09. a decent office suite containing pages, numbers and keynote. a pretty reliable package I find, though there are some issues with navigation now and again as well as certain known voiceover omissions. OPEN OFFICE 3.3 is a reasonable office kit. fairly accessible but has a few bugs to it, if you want to become a member of the developer team and give accessibility feedback, etc it's worth the time. there's probably a few others there which I've no doubt missed. lew On 30 Dec 2011, at 23:15, Shanna Stichler wrote: > Hello everyone, > > I find myself in need of software similar to MS Office, which I am quite > familiar with in Windows.
