Thanks GrahamIt all sounds encouraging, although not sure how to take this "it's not as bad as everyone says" angle. Guess I'll soon find out.

You may want to have sighted help with you when you first install jaws and when you first try to use vista, itis different but I think better than xp. there are very few menues andmostly in tree view but the best thing is type in the search for where everyou want to go whether it is on your computer or on the web, this is verylaborous at first but once you typed something in several times the computerremembers and you end up just typing a couple of letters just to get theplaces you most frequently visit, e.g. wo for word, hot for hotmail, ya foryahoo etc. If you decide to stay with office 2007 make a note of all the things in your xp word menues and the key strokes you need to get to them because they only work on first letter navigation in 2007, good luck with vista it is not as bad as many people think ________________________________ From: amie.slavin@xxxxxxxxxxxx To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jaws-uk] JAWS 9 and Vista Date: Thu, 20 Mar 2008 15:42:49 +0000 Hi list Anyone any tales of success or otherwise using JAWS 9 and Vista?
