Thanks George. 

I appreciate what you say about shortcut keys and do use them most of the time 
for save, print, font, tables etc, but how on earth do you move through the 
menu? Does anyone know? As for the help, I never use them because they always 
leave you more confused than before!

  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
