Hi Chris,
Both versions of Office work well with JAWS. In my experience, having used
both versions of Office extensively, The Office
365 seems to run more seamlessly than an installed version of either Office
2010 or 2013. When I was using either one of these versions, I would get
little glitches in some of the programs from time to time, and would usually
have to consult someone from an Office support group to get these resolved.
However, since subscribing to Office 365, Hone version, I have experienced
no problems with any of the included applications. It is currently installed
on 3 different computers, and as far as I know, they all work well. When one
considers what you get for the price, I find it hard to go wrong with this
subscription, and I believe that I will be using it for a long time. Since
it also includes free upgrades, subscribers will be getting Office 16 in the
near future.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Office 2010 or Office 365 with Jaws
Hello list,
Earlier this week, I grabbed a Windows 8.1 tower at a really good deal. I’m
waiting until the weekend to set it up, but wanted to ask those who may have
already had some experience with both versions of Office. Is there any
discernable advantage to using the Office 2013 cloud version offered through
the Office 365 Small Business plan or the standard disk instalation with
Office 2010? I’ve got a 2010 package with one system install available to
and am not quite sure if I should go ahead and load this version on to my
new system or if I should simply run the more recent 2013 cloud downloaded
version. This machine would be for my business anyway, so it’s not like I
have any plans on discontinuing my Office 365 subscription any time soon
either.
I’ll be using the latest Jaws 16and for the time being sticking with
Windows 8.1 until Windows 10 gets its first few bug fixing related updates.
If there are any differences in Jaws performance or accessibility issues
that may favor one version of Office over the other, I’d appreciate any
feedback.
Thanks,
Cristobal
