Humm, excuse me...does this mean I ought to be able to get my jaws 8 running
with my Vista? It just keeps crashing the computer, so I've had to stick to my
old laptop! Christine #w

Subject: [access-uk] Re: Which Office and Vista with JAWS?
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.
