Hi David
Many thanks for your explanation-very interesting. best wishes Henry -----Original Message----- From: mac-access-boun...@mac-access.net [mailto:mac-access-boun...@mac-access.net] On Behalf Of David Griffith Sent: 04 November 2014 19:50 To: OS X & iOS Accessibility Subject: Re: [Mac-access]: Outlook Express E-mails on Mac The rumours are that the complete rewrite of Office for the Mac will indeed provide and interface and content that is more accessible to Voiceover. This is apparently because the rewrite is being done in more standard Apple Coco programming language but I am no expert in this. There is allegedly some evidence of this in as, I say, One Note and the new version of Outlook but apparently we have to wait until next year for the substantive rewrite of Office in terms of applications like Word and Excel. Still it will be a welcome development if it comes along. A fully featured and accessible version of Office on the Mac may well tip some more people into switching from Jaws etc to Voiceover on the Mac.
