My parents have Office 2007. I use it from time to time on their computer, or to get them out of a bind. smile From what I know, the ribbon is always there unless you get a plug-in to change it back to the original menus. There are no options within Word to change back to the menu. However, if you use keyboard shortcuts, those are all still there. The ribbons aren't really that difficult to manage either. They've moved somethings around, which confuses you until you learn where they are. Also, when using Office 2007 or 2010, the application key is your friend. Often many of the things you will want to do are there in the context menu that pops up when you press the application key.

Hi Susan,The ribbon is there, but if I choose edit rather than open, it opens and I can use all of the old familiar commands and just ignore the ribbon. I am using Jaws 12, Windows 7, on a 64-bit computer.Sue S. *From:* Susan Lumpkin <mailto:slumpkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> *Sent:* Thursday, April 07, 2011 5:22 AM *To:* bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> *Subject:* [bksvol-discuss] Re: Microsoft Word 2010 Hi Sue,Sounds like you are doing real well with Word 2010. Do you have the ribbons turned on or off and what version of JAWS are you using? I have been quite hesitant to try it – based on your results I may switch to it soon! I am currently using Word 2003 for proofing with Windows 7 but it is quite sluggish! Hope your good luck and success continue. Happy proofing!Susan ------------------------------------------------------------------------*From:*bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] *On Behalf Of *Sue Stevens*Sent:* Thursday, April 07, 2011 5:15 AM *To:* bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx *Subject:* [bksvol-discuss] Microsoft Word 2010 Hi Folks,For those who do not already know this, I have discovered something important. After you have established that you want Word to open this type of file, which you can do with the “open with” feature, you can then choose “edit from the menu that comes up when you hit the application key. Here are my experiences with this.I chose “open with” after downloading a boo to proof. Word did open the book, but I couldn’t correct errors or do anything else except read the file. I exited it. Then the next time I chose “edit” rather than “”open” and voila!!! Now I can use all of the familiar commands!!!Hope this helps someone.
