Hi,

Wow Window-Eyes read all the installation screens without any OCR, so not
sure what's going on there.

All the best

Steve

Hi Jackie.

Microsoft want everyone to take out subscriptions, that way they can ensure 
a continued income stream hence why the perpetual licensed IE the non 
subscription versions cost so much more and have tighter restrictions on 
installations attached.  Your Office 365 subscription will give you 
installations of Office for PC or Mac on up to 5 computers and 5 mobile 
devices.  The installation is very straight forward, most of the buttons are

labelled however I did have to use the OCR feature in JAWS sometimes to 
navigate a couple of the screens.  They make you watch an intro video when 
you're installing it but other than that, the installation takes place in 
the background and you're thrown back to the desktop once you've made all 
the necessary installation choices.  Good luck and let us know how you get 
on OK?

All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi Ibrahim

I thought it was you who had 365, thanks very much for the feedback.  Is it
straightforward to download and install?  Given that a single user copy
costs quite a lot, I think we are going to go for the 365 version.


Kind regards,

Hi Jackie.

You should remove an older copy of Office to avoid system conflict issues, I

believe the Office 2013 installer for Office 365 will perform a preliminary
check of your system and advise you to remove older copies of Office before
allowing the installation to go ahead.  It can upgrade an Office 2010
installation as the file formats used are the same, but Office 2003 I'm not
sure about, especially with setting from applications like Outlook.  I
haven't experienced any issues using JAWS with Office 365 and I'm using the
latest build of version 15.

All the best, Ibrahim.

Apologies for cross-posting, but I would be grateful for your opinions on
which version of Microsoft Office 2013 works best with JAWS 15?  We have
been looking at various MS packages, and are thinking of Microsoft Office
365.  Could anyone using this identify any problem areas to watch out for?
Is it possible to run the latest version of MS Office with the 2003 version,
or does this have to be completely removed before the new copy is installed?
I am not particularly looking forward to this journey, but I guess needs
must.

Kind regards,
