Hi Ari,
Are you likely to want to connect into the University's
systems, even if only to get access to the Internet? If so,
it may be worth having a word with the Uni before you get
your laptop. Most will not allow XP or Vista Home systems
access.
George.

Subject: [access-uk] Which Office and Vista with JAWS?
Hi guys,
Just a few questions here, I'm getting a laptop and have
JAWS 8 for uni, so bear in mind that, when giving me advice
about the office suite, I'll need to use it for, not just
writing assignments, but formatting the documents, inserting
tables, maybe even a little spreadsheet work, but mainly the
word processor.
First, the laptop comes with Windows Vista Home Basic, how
usable is this with JAWS, I read somewhere that JAWS has
many problems with Vista, is this true?
Second, where can I find something, which I can read/listen
to, which will explain to me how Vista will be different to
XP, which I am using now, and how to use Vista effectively?
Third, since the laptop will cost quite a bit, I'm not sure
if I can buy Office right away, I'm thinking of using
Openoffice or something in the meantime, will that work with
JFW? (can't test it myself, as this computer isn't mine)
Fourth, the only Office on sale now is Office 2007, where
can I read something on how to use Word 2007 with JAWS, and,
overall, how good does Word 2007 perform with JFW, or should
I try and find a copy of Office 2003 from somewhere else
instead?
Thanks
Ari
