[jaws-uk] Re: Microsoft Project with Jaws.

Paul,

        Thanks for your reply. I'm inclined to agree that using Project is
no help to my sanity, but unfortunately it's about the only tool for the
job.

        I'm not doing too badly in keeping on track with things like
milestones, predecessors etc. but using Project 2003, almost all of the
dialogues are inaccessible.

        I'm trying to lay my hands on a copy of Project 2000, to see if it
helps having the version that Jaws actually supports, but you never know,
mountaineering might just be the answer!

Regards,
Tink.

        Hi Tink,

I have had some experience with MS Project, but it was over seven years =
ago.
My sight was good enough in those days for me to use Window-eyes in
conjunction with Zoomtext.  I found that Project was incredibly = difficult
to use in that way.  I am not sure which version of Project I was using, =
but I remember that it caused me a great deal of grief and my effectiveness
= was very limited.  I cannot remember there being any useful keystrokes
that improved the situation.  Of course a later version of Project might
have
been more accessible, I don't know.   But, in essence trying to keep an =
eye
so to speak on start and end dates in a critical path, milestones and
unfinished tasks, on a reasonably small Project, caused me nothing but =
worry and now that my sight has diminished to the state it has become, I =
wouldn't give it the time of day.  I am sorry to be so negative about this,
but I really struggled with it and would not wish others to have the same
bad experience. =20

I am sorry Tink, but if you wish to retain your hair, try = mountaineering,
it would be far easier in my opinion.

Kind regards

Good afternoon,


        I'm increasingly having to use Microsoft Project at work. The
version we're using is 2003, which is proving more or less completely
unusable.

        Looking through the Jaws help files, I notice that support for MS
Project is available, but only up to 2000.

        If anyone has any experience of using Project and could confirm
whether 2000 works with Jaws, it would be great.

        Alternatively, if anyone has any general tips on using Project at
all, this too would be welcome.

Regards,
Tink.
