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.

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.

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.
