Title: Mac VoiceOver queries
Author: Ahmed Hamdy
Summary:

hello all
I have some questions about voiceover in Mac OS
I'm planning to buy MacBook air, I have some questions
I'm now a university student, and depend mostly on my laptop concerning 
reading, writing and doing research
I have heard and read that voiceover doesn't work properly with MS office and 
Adobe reader
that was a year ago, is still the same issue?
does voiceover read the text and interact well with MS office?
does work well with Adobe and read tagged documents quickly?

Title: Preview does not support tagged PDFs

Unless something changed that I'm not aware of, Preview on the Mac does not 
support tagged PDFs, so if you open a PDF with accessibility tags, you won't 
be able to take advantage of them.  The PDF itself is accessible, and you can 
navigate it the same way you would any other text document, but the lack of 
tagged PDF support can be problematic.  From what I've heard, this is 
probably the biggest limitation of the Mac and VoiceOver, as things stand 
now.

As for navigating within a text document, you can definitely move around with 
the arrow keys, by character, word, line, paragraph, etc.  The commands are 
not the same as Windows, but once they're learned they're easy to use.  Just 
make sure Quick Nav is turned off, so that you won't trigger VoiceOver 
commands by mistake while editing text.

Left and right arrows move by character, while up and down arrows move by 
line.  Holding Option when pressing left or right moves by word, while Option 
+ up and down move by paragraph.  Command + left and right move to the start 
or end of the current line, while Command + up and down move to the top and 
bottom of the document.  Hold down Shift to select text while moving.
