This is good news, I would be very interested to know if forms created using MS Office will now work with VO.

Subject: [WebAIM] MS Office for Mac 2016 released - now works with VoiceOver

After years of promises, Microsoft's latest version Office for Mac now apparently works with VoiceOver, the native screen reader in the Mac OS.



The 2016 version was released yesterday and available for download to folks who have Office 365 subscriptions.



There are things MS indicates it is still working on, but the new version does work with VO.



Still testing.
