That's the worst of it, I fear. Office 2003 came installed on my Gateway
computer when I bought it and I didn't receive the disk. Is the only answer
to my problem for me to buy Office 2003 again?

Hello Listers,
First, I'd like to introduce myself. I just joined the group and, mostly
happily, have been using Jaws for about nine or ten years. I'm so glad
to find a user list, and delighted that it's not on the accursed Yahoo
system, heh.
Here's my issue, and I'm betting you're familiar with it. I'm a novelist
who's used Jaws and Word 2003 to composea novel. I'm now in the middle
of my second novel and for various reasons, I purchased Office 2007.
From an accessibility standpoint, that appears to have been a mistake.
First, and I've never heard of this happening before, my copy of Office
2003 was deleted when I installed the newer version. I've looked andn
looked for it with the search utility but it really appears to have been
scrubbed from my hard drive. Secondly, I've found that using Word 2007
is a maddening, curse-producing experience. Doing even simple
things --well, they were simple in Word 2003-- seem to demand working
eyeballs. It's like Microsoft forgot about the ADA, or else simply
decided to say screw you to its VI customers.
To start with --and I'm sure other related questions will pop up as I
work on my current novel-- how do you focus Jaws on the bar where the
word count takes place? And secondly, how do you change line lengths?
Are there any scripts for JFW and Word 2007? Any information, as well as
simple commiseration and plans for the imminent destruction of the truly
Evil Empire, will be welcome.
