I'm going to throw my two cents worth in on this one. I agree with
George that those menus aren't really all that useful. If you are new
to MS Office then skip them altogether and learn how the ribbons work.
If you are firmly attached to the menus as they were used in earlier
versions of MS Office, then these might be useful for finding commands
that you don't have keystrokes already memorized for. However, they
don't just add the menu bar back so that you can go on with things as
you always did, there is still new stuff to learn. I've found in
teaching that I can teach someone who was familiar with the menus to
use the ribbons in about as much time as it takes to teach them to find
and then navigate these add-ins. My vote is that if you are using JAWS
10, I'd go for taking the time to learn how to navigate the ribbons. In
case anyone is anxious about the switch to Office 2007, most of the
dialog boxes, once you get to them from the ribbon, are the same as the
ones in Office 2003 were, so getting to the options you need isn't
really all that different.

I can go
one step further.
Below is the link to a web site from which you can download a free
add-on to
Word 2007 that adds the classic Word 2003 menus. This way, you can
have
your cake and eat it too. If you are befuddled by Word 2007's ribbon
menus, you can just switch to the more familiar Word 2003 menus.

Can
you tell me what Kim koomandos web site is please?
Hi,
Kim Koomando posted a program on her Cool Site of the Day on May 19th
that
described a free program to replace the Word 2007 Ribbon with all your
familiar
menus.
If
you search her site I expect you can find this particular post and the
link to
the company that provides the download. Good luck, Mitch

Welcome to
the confusing world of Office 2007 and the ribbon!
You'll
probably spend a lot of time groping around the ribbon, looking for
your old
familiar dialog boxes. It wasn't easy for me.
Simply to
answer your question:

Hi:
I just installed word 2007 and when I go to page layout to hopefully
get to
margin setings, it says hit tab or shiftt Alt followed by p. when I use
tab or shift tab it talks about help and alt and P do nothing. Any help
would be appreciated. John Fioravanti
