Can anyone tell me how to get Microsoft Word to be accessible to VoiceOver on a Mac computer? Thank you.

Yeah, I am certain it works on the mac, I do a lot of word processing and stuff too.

Definitely works well on iOS. Not sure about OSX.
Maybe checkout applevis.com ?

The latest versions of Microsoft Office are fully accessible on the Mac using VoiceOver. I've been able to use Word and Excel without much issue. Running Word version 16.16
Open Word and navigate the VO cursor until you hear Document 1, then interact with that. It will immediately jump into the document text editing field. I've noticed that tables seem to exist both in the document and are accessible and editable from just outside the document1 interactive element. Excel has a similar workflow, where you find the worksheet and interact with it to drill down into the cells in the Sheet1 element. Using quicknav is the easiest way to move around the sheet. Give the latest version a try.

Unfortunately it is not compatible. Use pages and convert into docx if necessary

Not as far as I know. This is one of the huge downfalls. Last I looked in to it was 2016.
