[bcab] Re: word 2007, should we get militant?

Hi Derek,
 
Don't let it worry you.  The old shortcut keys you know and love work well,
and if you have a good screen reader for Vista, certainly Window-Eyes works,
the ribbon is fully accessible.
 
All the best
 
Steve

I'm sure at about the time MS launched Vista etc. they claimed the 'ribbon
menus' were intended to make things easier for access software!  They
appeared to give the impression that screen reader developers etc were
having problems with such complicated objects as menus, sub-menus and dialog
boxes etc.
 
Personally I found they worked well and am not looking forward to my first
encounter with Office 2007.
 
 
Cheers,
 
Derek

Well thank goodness I haven't got ms. office 2007 then! But instead of
individuals complaining would it be better if the society (i.e. bcab)
complained as a whole through its committee? Also what about individual
letters to the press and computer magazines, particularly from sighted
members like George? If Microsoft wonh't be reasonable themselves, let's
embarrass them into doing something.
