Many people may disagree with the following opinion . most people use about
25% of the capabilities and features in Microsoft Word .
for every action In Word 2010, there is a hot key or series of hot keys
and they work beautifully.
Plus, with Jaws 13, you can to some degree, bring back the menu styles to
which you are accustomed in prior versions of Word.
I think it is really dangerous to not use a new program because it is
different or because it is unfamiliar. Sure, it will require memorizing
hotkeys, but using any version of Word will require memorization of hot
keys if you are using a screen reader.
It is a learning issue, not an accessibility issue. Sent from my iPhone
