Hi every one,

I have seen unanswered questions crop up here and there about Office 2016 accessibility. Now that I have a little time on my hands, does everyone want a podcast series on Office 2016? Put your votes in the comments, and if they favor a podcast series, I will surely create one. What do you think?

Yes, i'd love a podcast on office 2016. I have had a mac for a few years but pages is just different from what I'm used to.
I guess a podcast on your thoughts of office 2016. Do you think you could successfully write a term paper with it? Format the paper correctly!
Thanks for considering doing a podcast on it. I have used office 2016 during its beta cycle.

Hi Chris,

I have written term papers with Word 2016. I know it can be done. Keep the thoughts coming. In fact, I might do a podcast series on Office no matter how many people do or don't want one. What I want to do is have everyone interested send their questions to my contact form Once I gather enough questions, I will create a series for Office. It might take a week or so to get the public's questions. For those interested, Send a question about office 2016 for MAC through my contact page. The subject should resemble the following format:

Question for Office 2016 [office app] podcast.

Does this seem fair for everyone reading this thread?

I have noticed that accessibility in Word 2016 is a bit on the wobbly side. Sometimes i can read large documents just fine in Word and then a new update of Office comes along and all of a sudden i can no longer read the large documents anymore. With large documents i mean documents over one page long. Have you noticed this too and is there a workaround that i don't know of?

It depends on the file. I have some multiple page files here. I will take a look and see what might be the problem. If I can get it out soon enough, I will include my findings in the podcast.
Generally, I haven't had that problem. At least lately. In the beginning, it was a shoot in the dark at best, but things have come a long way since then. Make sure you have the latest build of Office.

Yes, I would be delighted if you made a podcast on office 2016, particularly the accessibility of excel as this has been the fly in the ointment for me for a while. Many thanks and much appreciation in advance. Cheers

Yes please to Office podcasts. My wife and I are considering getting a Mac but accessibility of Office would be a big consideration.

Hi Andy and all.
One other thing i was wondering, is it possible to read comments in files? For education, this is very helpful. When writing a paper, people usually edit it through commenting. I know this feature was made accessible in pages.
Thanks.
Chris

Commenting in a document is accessible.

Am thinking of using it because it's more public in the world. so, if any podcasts produced please mention them here.
