Hi everyone

I have the latest version of Word for Mac and can't see the accessibility
checker under review. Am I missing something?

Folks,

I really don't have the time to learn about this checker, but I do have a
Mac book pro and the name caught my attention.

Can someone give me bullet points on what it does to see if it behooves me
to have it? Thanks a bunch.

I have the insider's fast build and PowerPoint now has it, so it should go
live to others soon I would guess. Finally!!!

Cheers

Confirming that Word and Excel for MSO for Mac 2016 updated (on Aug 6)
and NOT PowerPoint (still using July update). So Accessibility Checker
is still not available for PowerPoint in Mac.

Finally.



MS Office for Mac 2016 - August update includes the Accessibility
Checker that was previously available in Windows versions.



This report says it is available in Word, Excel and PowerPoint, but my
update today (dated Aug 6) only updated Word and Excel.

Find the AC under Review tab in the menu - sorry I don't see the
keyboard equivalent.
