Subject: [access-uk] MS Office 2007 (Was RE: Re: MSWorks)
| Andy,
|
| As others have said, Office 2007 uses a ribbon instead of the menu which
is
| accessed by pressing alt.
|
| The ribbon consists of tabs, groups and commands.
|
| I suppose that tabs are equivalent to menu headings, and you move between
| them with right and left arrows when you press alt, a bit like in a dialog
| box.
|
| Each tab consists of groups of commands.
|
| On an individual tab, you can press shift right or left arrow to move
| between groups of commands.
|
| To move between commands, you can press tab.
|
| All the commands are accessible on any given tab a bit like a dialog box,
so
| you can tab between them and don't have to worry about groups of commands
if
| you don't want to. Commands are grouped because you could find yourself
| shift tabbing for an awfully long time, so shift right and left arrows
help
| you to move quickly between groups.
|
| It's important to remember that old shortcut keys will still work, if
that's
| the way you access your most frequently used commands.
|
| If you wanted to listen to JAWS training/a demo, you could look at
|
ftp://ftp.freedomscientific.com/users/hj/private/WebFiles/JAWS/basictraining
| /31_Office2007WithMAGicAndJAWS9.zip
| This is around 25MB.
|
| There is also a good text explanation (probably much better than mine) at
| http://www.gwmicro.com/Support/Knowledge_Base/?kbnumber=GWKB1075
|
|
| Although this was written by the manufacturers of Window-Eyes, the basics
| will be applicable.
|
| Edward

|| Hi, personally I wouldn't use Microsoft Works, but the latest JFW
|| supports Microsoft Office 2007. Be aware though, there's a learning
|| curve as the interface has changed from a standard menu to "ribbons". I
|| don't have Office 2007, but from Sight Village I heard that JFW versions
|| 8 or higher will work with it. Hope that helps.
