[gui-talk] VoiceOver -- was: Re: Microsoft security essentials

Sun Jul 11 02:38:39 UTC 2010

Mike,
I've listened to part of one of your most recent podcasts, and I seem to 
remember you saying that one of these, below, is a Java-based program and 
pretty difficult or impossible to use with VO. No? And I'm not asking just 
about opening Word docs. I'm concerned about being able to *create* 
documents compatible with Word, and using a program that has at least some 
of the bells and whistles of Word, and not just something like Notepad that 
has the ability to open a Word doc. Know what I'm saying?

Microsoft Word itself is not accessible, but there are at least 3 
alternatives. Text edit, which comes with the mac will open and save word 
documents. You could also use iwork, which is Apple's office suite, finally 
there is open office which also handles Word documents, all of these are 
accessible.
