Thanks John I appreciate your response. I have been using the sticky keys but
these becomes complicated when I need to use three or more keys at the same
time. This is why I was looking in to using the swipe gestures as an
alternative.
Thanks for confirming comparability issues between Microsoft and voiceover.
Thanks again for your help.

Hi Patricia,
I use Windows, so I can't give you specific advice. But I have heard
that VoiceOver support in MS Office for Mac was abysmal until the
recent release of Office 2016. I'm sure you could get an upgrade
through Trinity's Disability Support Services.
And I don't know about swipe gestures on the trackpad. But I'm pretty
sure the Mac has sticcky keys. In other words, instead of having to
press Ctrl+V together to paste some text, you can press Ctrl and then
press V to achieve the same effect.
Press the Shift key five times to turn on sticky keys. For more on
sticky and slow keys, read this Apple support article:

Hope this helps! :)
