Subject: Re: Office 16.9 accessbility improvements
Have the improvements been introduced in 15.9?
That’s the version I’m running.
It tels me that there are no other updates available.
Kind regards,

Hi all,
The Office 2016 Preview can be directly and officially downloaded from
Microsoft. Here is the link:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=523849
As others have mentioned, once downloaded and installed, updates can be
installed by opening any of the Office apps, accessing the help menu, then
choosing “check for updates”.
To view more information about the Preview, access this link:
https://products.office.com/en-us/mac/mac-preview
To access the release notes for the April 14th update that includes
improved VoiceOver accessibility, access this link:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3048768
I can confirm that basic VoiceOver accessibility support is now present in
Microsoft Word. Tables are recognized, though I did experience issues with
entering and leaving them as well as reading their contents. Certainly it
is not as simple as merely arrowing through a Word document, entering a
table, and using TAB and SHIFT+TAB to move through cells as Windows users
might be used to doing. The issue may well be simply that I’m not familiar
with the app. I haven’t had time to check out the new Excel or PowerPoint
yet, but Outlook has been pretty accessible for a while now. Ultimately,
while there is surely room for improvement, this is huge news. I’m excited
now that as VoiceOver users, we’ll be able to play with the preview apps
and submit feedback to Microsoft throughout the beta cycle, and such
feedback will now be more than “it doesn’t work”. :)
Cheers!
Grant
