It does not work with Voiceover, and Microsoft have shown no interest whatsoever in improving the situation. This is sad, as 99% of all the Office apps work fine with Voiceover. the one area that doesn't, however, is the most important: the main content window, the document area. There's no way to read what's inside it with Voiceover, which renders Office rather useless. It would also be relatively easy for Microsoft to fix this, but they seem to have no desire to do so.

Hey there,

Has anyone used Office 2008 with VoiceOver? I can't find out anything about whether it has support or not. If someone has a link with info they could forward along that would be great.

The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair.
