Re: Are there major accessibility issues in Word, PowerPoint & Outlook

Hello,
Office products still have a long way to go until they have an incredible
UX.
NVDA does not read content of cells while you are editing in Excel.
It's extremely difficult to read 2-columns in Word.
It's not possible to add alt-text to an image in word only using the
keyboard.
When you are doing live editing, where two people are editing the same
document at once, NVDA says "edit" before every line in word.

These are just the major problems I have experienced in the last week.
Thanks,
