Hi Tim

Thanks for that.

I'm not sure what to do about this.  I maybe should just ask them to
leave 2003 on here until JAWS is made a bit more reliable with Office
2007.

Hi Ulla,

As far as I'm aware  jaws 8  doesn't support word 2007, or at  least not
officially.  The jaws 8 documentation for word would seem to  co oberate
this, as it says that the information  in the help files has only been
tested for versions of  word from 2000 to 2003.

Having said that you could try  jaws 8 with word 2007 and many of the
normal features may work.

Cheers,

Tim

Hi 

I know this might seem like a very simple question but would anyone know
if JAWS 8 is compatible with Office 2007?  

All the PCs in work are now being upgraded and I don't want to have 2007
installed if there are any major issues with it.  I am currently using
Office 2003 - a bit old hat I know but it works perfectly.  Is it a case
of if it ain't broken don't fix it?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Best regards.
