[nfbcs] Sharepoint

[David Andrews]

There are a lot of variables here, it isn't a black and white 
answer.  It depends on the version, later the better, and how it is 
set up etc.  Also, what is being done with it.  I have found with 
2010 and 2013 the problems aren't so much acceswsibility, but 
usability.  It is a sighted person's layout, lots of busy screens, 
with inscruitable functions.  The main problems are in knowing what to do.
