George,
For goodness sake dude! calm down! I wasn't doubting you. I simply said I
didn't recall having to sign in. I never said even once that I didn't
believe you. Man! Quit being so defensive most of the time! It's all
good.
Chris.

Go to the mac for office Microsoft page and they tell you you do not have to
sign in because..."it is a beta" called preview

I had to sign in from what I recall, but maybe I'm rememberirng wrong. I'd
tried it in the last preview before this one which wasn't accessible, so I
take your word for it.

No the office you have on your mac if you have 365 is version 14.xxx, the
one we are talking about is office 16 which is in as you would call beta
which Microsoft is now in the beta preview stage thus the name preview.
You can use preview along side office 2011 for mac, and you do not have to
sign in with any account to use it.

Hi,
If I download MS Word for Mac using my Office 365, will I get this
accessibility everybody is talking about. I'm a bit confused with it being
called a preview app.
Is installing Word on the mac accessible?

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
