  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.

goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair.
