[Trainer-Talk] Recommendation?

[Reginald George]

Hi row
Perhaps you could expound on some of the differences between office 2010 and office 2016? Particularly as it would benefit and Adaptive technology user. I know some things have changed like the way spellcheck works, and that wasn't necessarily in a good way. I just don't see the advantage of upgrading. I have heard there have been some recent accessibility improvements in office 365, but I heard those changes have not even made it into 2016 yet, and may not. I put these products on systems every day for my clients, but because I don't use them all the time I don't get to see the small changes that might really make a difference to someone. So any practical information that we can get here it's helpful.

In terms of excess ability, if you go all the way to office 2016, there should be no problems with using it with Assistive Technology in it
