Hello,
I have it on my mac and so far all the programs seem accessible for the most part. The accessibility is not quite as good as it is on a windows machine but you can do most basic stuff fairly well. For my part I am still use to doing things in a windows way rather than doing it in a mac way.

Regards,
Greg Wocher

I am on the insider fast program for ms Office. they're always working to make office even more accessible than the public versions are.

Hi. I want to get Office for Mac, but I don't really need it all of the tine, and mainly just need Excel. Can you buy Excel outright, or do you have to go for an Office 365 subscription? If I do go for a subscription, is it easy enough to end your subscription after a couple of months, and maybe pick it up again at a later date, or are you tied in to it?

Can I buy just MS Word as a download and install it on my Mac instead of tying myself onto a subscription?

I'm not sure about purchasing an individual program, but I don't see why you couldn't. You'll probably get more benefits though from purchasing a subscription as I believe you can use it on more than one computer. Also, the subscription is a month-to-month subscription so you can cancel it at any time and then renew it.

I need to Use the Ms office 2016 word, but hope to know if the formatting, making styles, creating sections, etc are accessible or not?

It is quite accessible, but when you open the document that contains too many pages, Microsoft Word keep getting busy. Thus, you cannot see or read the contents in the page.

Hello:
Thanks so much for your reply, but can we try to contact the Microsoft team to be able to solve this? and is this a VOice over bug or mac bug?
Thanks again
