Here here! I too hate the ribbon bar, but jaws does what it should do.
It reads the menus and options as they are. Finding what you are use to
seeing is the problem and that lies squarely in Microsoft's lap.

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.
