Hi, It largely depends on which access software you're using. For example, Dolphin speech products work with all versions of Office up till 2007. This includes full support for the new ribbon interface. You'd have to ask users of other access products for their support with the same programs. Office 2010 recently ended its closed group CTP programme, and will shortly move to a more public beta. From my initial testing, they have made some significant changes to the ribbon interface and the design of some of the controls, with the most noticeable being in the main Outlook window. This renders even Dolphin products only slightly useful when trying to work with it. Having said that, these are early days yet, and it won't be until the beta goes live to the public that we'll really start to know what the main hurdles to accessibility are. Then I think we'll know more from the access software vendors as to what the support schedule, if any, will be. _______________________________________ Have a pleasant day, Kind Regards and Best Wishes, Hussein.
