John,
1. Yes. You'll hear that whenever you open a dot D O C file. New file extension
is dot D O C X.
2. That is correct. F6 will route you through 3 or 4 different "panes".
3. I'll bet that's because you have a demo version. There are 2010 scripts
shipped with JAWS 12, for sure. Don't know about JAWS 11.

I have just downloaded the Office 2010 home and student trial version to see
how I like it.
two questions,
1. I just opened an existing document using Word 2010 and heard jaws say the
document was in "compatibility mode". I assume this is because it is an older
document?
2. On a new document, instead of hearing compatibility mode, I heard print
view.
3. when I did an insert key plus letter Q, jaws reported that the MS 2007
Word settings were loaded. Is there no MS 2010 word settings yet done?
thanks for any feedback

I just made the plunge last week going from Microsoft Office Professional
2003 to Office Home & Student 2010, as I never used Access which is the main
upgrade to the professional package.
My first concern was that Office Home & Student does not have Outlook which I
use a lot for calendaring activities, although I am aware that Thunderbird with
the Lightning add-on is pretty good as well. I poked around on a few websites
and learned that the 2003 and 2010 versions of Office can and do co-exist
nicely on the same computer. Thus, I could leave the 2003 version of Outlook
on my machine and add the new 2010 package.
When you install Office Home & Student 2010, it asks you if you want to
upgrade and retain your older office products. It then gives you a choice of
which ones to keep. I decided to keep all of 2003 in case I had a long
learning curve.
The menu structure is completely different on the 2010 products; however,
after spending a few hours going through all the menus and options, I quickly
found the things I use most and have not reverted back to the old software so
far.
JAWS seems to work fine with it as long as you turn on JAWS ribbon support.
All the cell and formula entry is the same and if you use the ctrl+1
combination (the 1 is on the upper number row) to bring up all the formatting
options, it is just like it was in 2003 and you do not have to hunt the new
menus.
I'd make the change, but I'm a software geeky guy so you may feel different
about it. Office Home & Student is $119.00 at Best Buy for a key-card
downloadable version and $149 for a DVD copy of the software for up to three
licenses. That's a good deal even if you share them with friends and split the
cost.

List, I am about to upgrade my office 2003 student to either Office 2007 or
Office 2010 Home and Office.
I suspect the correct long term decision is to get the new Office 2010 home
and office as it is obtainable of a cost of around $200.
But I am not of the mind set to have to struggle with office 2010 if there
are still a lot of bugs using it with either Jaws 12 or jaws 11 as I have
them both on the computer running windows 7.
I would appreciate any thoughts, comments or experiences as others may be in
a similar situation over possible upgrading.
