  Hi Mark, looking in the Jaws help files might be a good start? But I know 
what you mean about Office 2007; it's a real pain. I bought a copy when I got 
my machine but ended up giving it away and I'm now very happy with my old copy 
of Office 2003!

  Cheers,
  Amro

  How do,
  I am using Jaws 9.0.519   with Vista.  I recently purchased MS office 2007 
because when I purchase my new PC it didn't have MS Word Or Excel included in 
the package...

  I am finding this new Excel a bugger!  My older version of Excel was very 
easy to use with Jaws, mind it did date back to '97.  However this updated and 
new fangaled version I am finding very difficult to work around.What has 
happened to simply accessing the menus by alt, the menu which pops up is very 
minimal , I can find more menus using the Jaws cursor but still finding it a 
mare.  I have also tried Alt + H, in the vain hope of finding a Help menu but 
then faced with some garbage about "Ribbons", what's that all about ?",   If 
anyone knows of any tips or a link to somewhere I can find any useful 
instructions on using this version of Excel, I would be very grateful.

  Mark
