Hi Barbara,
 
There are program which will convert Office 2007's, but the
ones I have seen cost something.
 
The irony of it all is that screen reader users have far
less problems with Office 2007 than sighted users, simply
because the vast majority of keyboard shortcuts have been
carried over from Office 2003 and earlier.
 
And believe me, speaking from a sighted perspective, if I
can't work out how to do something and can't find it in the
atrocious Help files, my next port of call is a skilled
blind user.
 
George.

Hi All
 
I've just installed MS Office 2007. I believe someone a
while back commented on the rather complicated ribbon
structure of the menu. Complicated is putting it mildly!
 
Firstly, is there some way of changing it to the classic
structure as with older versions of MS Word? And if not, is
there somewhere I can get simple instructions on how to
navigate through the ribbon layout?
 
Many thanks for advice received.
 
Barbara
