["Ari" <aridamoulakis@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tristram, 
Is there anything in Word 2007 that would make my life writing assignments 
easier, I've heard you can make bibliographies easier? I also hope I can still 
buy a copy of 2003 if I don't need 2007, I'd rather concentrate on my 
assignments and learning Vista for the moment. 
Ari

  I would second Brian's opinion that as far as the Windows VISTA interface is 
concerned JAWS works perfectly well out of the box in the control panels and 
associated tools.  I would also however like to add that you can use Office 
2003 quite safely with Windows VISTA as an alternative.

  I realise that the ribbon may be a bold step in interface design and that 
eventually we'll all have to get to grips with it, but I know that since this 
is much more a productivity tool than Windows itself you may want to go with 
the familiar if you are not some major power user or at least have the choice.  
I also have come accross the odd sighted person who has difficulties with the 
ribbon although they are probably in the minority perhaps.

  Regards.
