Hi again listers, I did a bit more digging on MS Project. Here's what I got from Erin Williams at Microsoft. Looks like Project 2016 is actually pretty accessible. I'll download it tomorrow and give it a go. The links Erin shared take you to VPAT's (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) and give some specific information on all aspects of accessibility of a piece of software (Project in this case). Happy reading.

I use the JAWS screen reader, version 18. Is Project accessible? If not, will a future release of Project be screen reader-accessible, and when could I expect that release to come out? Thank you.
