Hi Richard,

 

Not much really except you get a load more infomation from the document
object model if you needed it.  I believe you can get even more formatting
info for example.  The DOM is also more accurate so you shouldn't get
anything misreading.

 

All the best


Steve

Steve, What would be the advantage of using a later version of Office than
2003, apart from lack of support?

It still chugs along nicely for my needs.

Hi Jim,

 

If you go to Office 2013, you will definitel need to upgrade JAWS.
Otherwise your version will work with 2010 downwards.

 

All the best

Subject: [access-uk] Which software

 

Hi Lists,

 

First, apologies for cross posting but I need as many opinions as possible
before making my decisions.

 

I am looking to have a new computer built in the near future but I need some
views on software to install.

 

I am currently using Office 2003 and XP Homebut I am not sure whether to
install Office 2010 or 2013 along with Windows  7 or 8.1 on the new machine.

 

I have shied away from ribbons so far but I have to bow to the inevitable.

 

Is it too much of a jump from Office 2003 to 2013 or should I try 2010
first?

 

I keep hearing conflicting reports about Windows 8.1 as to whether its user
friendly for VI users.

 

I currently use JAWS 13 but have 2 SMA's, 14 and 15 disks available to
install.  I have tried NVDA in the past but couldn't get on with its voice
because of my hearing but I understand there many more choices regarding
voices.

 

That's enough for now, thoughts please.

 

Jim Williams
