Re: VO not reading text in MS word for mac
You may not directly to the place of purchase, but try. If that fails, contact Microsoft because you do have a valid issue. On May 30, 2010, at 8:59 PM, Sonnia wrote: > Thanks for the info.

Re: VO not reading text in MS word for mac
hello; glad we could help chase away some of the clouds. open office isn't perfect and it won't be just like the windows one you are used to; but they do seam to be continuing to develop it and make it more and more accessible. You might want to check the list archives for open office posts. good luck, max On May 30, 2010, at 8:34 PM, Sonnia wrote: @ Max and Cameron: Thank you so much, you guys are life savers.

Re: VO not reading text in MS word for mac
Word is not accessible on the Mac. You can thank Microsoft for this problem as they have not seen fit to make the MS Office suite accessible. Oh and I suspect they won't bother, but gee it would b nice if they did. GIve me another reason to ditch windows at work. Well I at least will have a new MBP next week with windows as a VM. My employer sure is good to me. :) On May 30, 2010, at 6:00 PM, Sonnia wrote: > Hi everyone. i was just curious if i am having a technical glitch in > my computing or if i'm just doing something wrong (most likely the > second situation is the case.)
