In my windows 11 laptop with MS Word 2021 and Jaws 2022, it has never been a good experience dealing with MS word table. Specially at the time of editting the table, jaws doesn't announce full spelling of the word written in a cell at the time of editting it. I couldn't find any solution for that so far, therefore compelled to use Word 2010 along with jaws 2020 or lower version. I am facing another accessibility challange in Word 2021, that is relating to not highlighting the selected row and collum to make it distinguished from unselected content. In Word 2010, if we select any collumn and row, it shows in high contract to make it distinguishable from unselected collumns which makes an easy task for partially blind users to identify whether desired collumn has been selected or no. But here in latest MS Word, its not showing in high contrast or in white/yello colour depending on the contrast settings of the computer.
