I have JAWS 8.0, and there is absolutely nothing in the Basic Training lessons that refers specifically to Office 2007 or Word 2007. On the contrary, FS uses its own proprietary word processor, HJ Pad, to teach basic word processing concepts. So even though I'm actually quite proficient with Word 2007, I'll stick with Jarte until something better comes along.

I agree. Having used Office 97 since I upgraded a couple weeks ago, I understand the frustration, but there are resources out there, such as the JAWS Basic Training, which give you a good idea of how things work in Office now.

And, the thing is, there's a big difference between true inaccessibility and just plain change. I don't like Word 2007, plain and simple. However, it's not due to inaccessibility, it's due to the fact that I've been using Word since the 1997 version, and I'm used to my options being where I think they should be. But, this has absolutely nothing to do with JAWS. I have a program that I purchased for $30 that gives me back my 2003 menu options, yet still gives me the ribbon, so I've got the best of both worlds so to speak. But, inaccessibility and unfamiliarity are just two different things.

Well, if you're not having an actual problem, the simple truth of it is really to just get used to it. That's just the way it is. Yeah, it's confusing, but so is really anything the first few times, until you get used to it and figure out the tips and tricks that work best for you.

I never meant to imply that JAWS doesn't work with Word 2007. But even with JAWS 8.0, I find it a real hassle to navigate around the confusing ribbon menu system. I'm a KISS kind of guy, and wading through a myriad of bewildering font, color, style set, and format options just to type a simple business letter just doesn't make a lot of sense to me. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roy Nickelson" <roylee@visuall <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When I bought my Dell Inspiron E1505, it came with Word 07. With that
wonderful, look-friendly ribbon and all that, it was a nightmare. When do you suppose that Jaws will allow Word 07 to work properly? Do you think
it'll be too late due to another version or OS?
