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.

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