I found this book, which is available through RFB&D to be helpful in using
MS-Project:

Yes, I have used it with both JAWS 9 and JAWS 11.
There are no specific scripts written for it, so it's not extremely
friendly.
Biggest problems I've found is in the calendar section where you define the
dates for projects, and the definitions of work days, etc.
Lots of groping around with the JAWS cursor in many of these areas.
However the Gantt chart views and resources, work well.
What doesn't work well is in generating the reports. These are predominantly
graphical and are not accessible. Also the interface for selecting reports
is clumsy.
I found it most useful overall in defining a project and setting up the
successors and predecessor, so that the entire timeline is laid out. However
using it to manage a project proves to be difficult -- trying to get to the
part where a task start/end date are to be edited in real time to see what
happens to all the tasks following it. Some of that I must admit is due to
my relative lack of expertise with the program.
Other than that, it's a powerful program and you can do most rudimentary
things with it.

Has anyone used Microsoft Project 2007 with JAWS 10 or 11? How well
does it work? Any information would be helpful.
Thanks
