This is where I got in but you will need your Windows Live ID or will have to
create it:

You can get it here in the UK entirely from a download, I remember having a
slight struggle with the myself but it can be done, I am running one on demo
now. You need a Windows Live ID like your hotmail address if you have one.
I am not such a fan of the ribbon at the moment but like all things one
could get used to it. Among sighted users it has got a lot of good press
and other developers wanting to use it under license. I'm even less of a
fan MS Word being the compulsory editor and viewer of messages, this seems
to cause problems with reading HTML messages in particular. This will
improve by the time most people migrate onto this Office platform.

Hi Brian I believe there is a demo of Office 2007 where do I find it as
the only one I can find seems only able to be downloaded in America as
the combo boxes only refer to America and American states.

Hi Belinda
A couple of months ago, I started testing JAWS with Office 2007 so as to
provide detailed reports to Freedom Scientific about any potential
problems. Last Friday however, I took the brave step and went over to
working with Office 2007 full-time to process all my Email and undertake
my word processing.
First, don't be put off by the ribbon. Like anything, it just takes a
while to get used to and you will find that a good number of your old
keystrokes will work.
The bad news is that you will need to upgrade to the very latest build
of JAWS 8 to take advantage of Office 2007.
Please let me know if you have questions.

No one seems to have replied to this, which surprises me, is no one at
all using Office 2007? We use Jaws version 6 and have just got a new PC
with Windows XP Home on it instead of Vista, but unfortunately it has
Office 2007. I've only had a very quick look at Word so far but don't
like what I see at all. =20
Firstly the new ribbon is going to be a bit of learning curve for most
people - does anyone know of a way round this, a way of getting back to
the old menu structure? =20
Secondly, and more worryingly, it doesn't seem to work with Jaws 6. As
I said, I've only had a quick look so far but two really basic things
don't work: it doesn't read the text in Word, and it doesn't read out
the menu options in Word. Does this mean the only option is to upgrade
the version of Jaws? =20
I'd be grateful for people's thoughts, thanks.
Belinda

all: has anyone had a go with office 2007 particularly Outlook? I'm
piloting it at work on a new machine and having trouble with outlook
especially but haven't had much opportunity to investigate as yet so am
unsure whether the issues are office related or machine set-up related.
Word and access to the Ribbon seem ok although I haven't yet found all
of the basic features but in outlook I don't hear message senders or
subjects readout in message lists, and can only hear the message body
read out if I open the message, not in the preview payne. Nor have I
worked out how to switch on the folder treeview but suspect that one is
much more me than anything else.
so, my questions,
are you using office 2007 successfully,
are you using outlook 2007 successfully?
if anyone can answer yes to either I might come back with some follow
up questions but for now it would just be nice to know if anyone else
has made it work.
