It may be that with NVDA that one may have to choose one's applications
a little differently to that you would for the commercial screen reader
offerings. Microsoft Office being what it is would be costly (both in
time and resources) to develop for at current releases therefore it may
be prudent to look at the open source alternatives that work, especially
for private non-business use. The commercial offerings such as JAWS,
WindowEyes, Hal and to a certain extent System Access have had both the
resources and the time to make Microsoft Office work whereas NVDA
development man-hours are a fraction of that for the commercial
offerings. It may also be argued that in a private non-business use
those seeking NVDA may not be able to stretch to the price of a
Microsoft Outlook or need its raft of facilities.
