Re: A question about Microsoft Word for the Mac, is it even remotely usable with voiceover?

2022-02-05 Thread 'Jason White' via MacVisionaries 
When you open a document in Microsoft Word for Mac, you should automatically be 
placed in the document area (without having to interact with it), and you 
should be able to use ordinary arrow keys to navigate the text – assuming that 
Qucik Nav is turned off.

Given that accessibility means different things to different people, can 
you  walk the list through what specifically happens for you when trying 
to read  the document?
Have you tried reading other word files in case the issue is document

Just some thoughts,

I can’t help with that problem. As I said, it has been working well for me for 
quite a while now (at least the past few years).
You should probably lodge a support case with Microsoft Accessibility.
