Some weeks ago a list member whose name I have forgotten kindly
posted the following link
http://www.addintools.com/english/menuword/
from which it is possible to purchase add-ons which add an item to the
Office 2007 ribbons from which the familiar menu system can be used.
Although I can see that such an addition might save time in finding particular
commands etc., I am wondering whether it also retains the familiar
dialogues used in 2003 and earlier.
If so this would be a great bonus as I find that some of the dialogues
reached in 2007 are much less screen reader friendly than the previous
ones.
A simple example is the Sort dialogue in Excel. In the older versions you
jus selected one or more columns in drop down lists and specified things
like A - Z for the sort order, and you were away.
I can "see" what is needed in the corresponding Excel 2007 dialogue, but
how to achieve it defeats me so far.
I would seriously consider buying the add-ons but only if they gave access
to the conventional dialogues.
If anyone has actually tried these add-ons I would be grateful for any
information as to how far they go.
