Hi
I think MS themselves admit that these packages are only useful as a
'stop gap' and to help ensure people can install add-on packages
themselves. I would not consider them to be sufficient accomodations in
an education, setting where flexible and efficient screen access is
needed for students with a range of access needs.
for more information have a look through the MS Enable site:-
