Dave,
The virtual ribbon of Sibelius 7 works much better with Jaws12 than the
Microsoft one.
Better structure, better explained and you don't get lost in the menu. And
all this, without turning the virtual menu of Jaws on, which by the way is
more bad than very util.
Regards
Claudio

Steve,

Good information. JAWS 12 now has a "virtual ribbon" feature that renders
the Office 2007 and 2010 ribbons into more menu-like structures. Do you know
if JAWS 12 works with Sibelius 7 in the same manner? This may be a Freedom
Scientific question, but then I doubt that FS has any testers who keep a
latest copy of Sibelius on hand for that purpose.

try to remedy that situation.

Hi John

In theory Sib 7 should run fine on Vista. What you may be encountering
is that we have removed the menu, so alt + h won't give you quite what
you want.

Instead, the help and other options are on the backstage, the ribbon tab
named "File". You can access this via alt then F (not the two together),
then H to open the help page (or you can navigate through the backstage
choices with the up and down arrows). Once the help page is open, if you
are still using the key tips you can type SR to get the reference guide,
or navigate through the options with the arrow or tab key - so in
summary from the start that's Alt then F then H then SR.

Once you use the tab or arrow keys, the key tips won't respond again
until you reactive them using alt.

For me on a bog standard Windows 7 machine, F1 does bring up the help
guide, so that may be an issue local to your machine.

Hope that helps,

Steve

John,

I've never read anywhere that a Vista update was the same as Windows 7.
Pretty sure that's your problem.

Hmm I thought that included a properly updated Vista or I wouldn't have
bothered.

John,

Sib 7 with a Vista partition? Didn't know that would work. Sib 7 was
designed to run on Windows 7. Could that be your problem?

Hi Dave and gang,

I'm back with trying to get help on a mac running a vista partition on
which
is sib7.

When I press alt h I just get a ding. f1 does not bring up the sibelius
reference as it ordinarily would.

When I press alt I do get the ribbon, but nowhere there does there
appear to
be anything about file management or help. The closest I get to file
management is control o for open.
