Good morning everyone, I am a blind student. I am writing here hoping to find an answer to my question. I am writing my thesis and I am working with multiple Word files. However, once I save them in Word from Pages and then use TextEdit, the previous formatting disappears, and I also need to insert various notes. So, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if Word can somehow be made accessible because I currently don't know how to read the text within a document. Thank you to anyone who can help me, and sorry for my English.

Yeah TextEdit will break the formatting of documents. I have experiences with the app where I have tables in the original documents, and when they are opened with TextEdit they are automatically converted to plain text.

So, I used Word on Mac, and it was good until it stopped reading out what I was typing. The VoiceOver screen reader and typing echo used to work really well. However, after some updates, the Word software no longer allows the voice to echo what I have just typed, rendering the software unusable for me. Does anyone have a solution for this issue?
