Hmm, maybe not. At least that would explain it. Hopefully they'll fix in 2016, bu I've been doing more playing around with Pages, and I think I can make it work. And my old PC hasn't croaked yet, so I still have time to sort things out. Makes me glad I only paid $20 for Office, though. :)

There were strange cursor movement issues in reading and editing documents with earlier versions of Microsoft Word 2016 for Mac, but they’ve been largely fixed in recent Office 365 versions. I don’t know whether those fixes made it to the stand-alone version, though. From: 'Donna Goodin'

Hi Jason, It sounds like we're experiencing the same difficulty associating comments with their place in the text. I'm kind of relieved by that - I was starting to wonder about what you had said about 365 getting major accessibility updates, that perhaps Office 2016 did not get. I don't know

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. From: 'Donna Goodin' via

Hi John, I can't share a work document. 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

Donna, I don't know if I will have time to play with this, but if you have a document that you can share on Dropbox or equivalent where you were having troubles withcomments/change information then perhaps somebody on list can review. I can't imagine the best solution for you would be to use

Hi all, So, I've spent most of the day playing around with Word for Mac, and have come to the conclusion that I prefer Pages. 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
