I actually think this is the wrong way to go. Microsoft need to tidy up and
standardise their interface.they probably need to make sure that shortcut
keys make sense and are easy to remember

Another two peneth re Office 2007. I too installed Office 2007 when it
first came out but soon reinstalled 2003 as I found the upper and lower
ribbons very difficult to navigate and extremely confusing.
However, at Sight Village recently in Birmingham, some features of JAWS 12
were demonstrated, amongst which is a "fix" which makes the ribbon system in
2007/10 behave almost like the old menus in 2003, etc. That excited me very
much and I can't wait now until about november for the new JAWS to be
released. Small things excite me and I now can't wait to get my teeth into
2007/10.
Val.

Hi Austin,
Yes, Jaws 11 supports Office 2007 though I am not sure what the score is
with the Outlook 2007 calendar. And yes, Office 2007 can handle office 2003
formats. The problem is that switching to Office 2007 is a bit of a learning
curb. I personally tried it a while ago and I did not like it a bit. I ended
up reinstalling my old 2003 copy and giving away my newly at the time
purchased copy of 2007. I believe that many users, VI and sighted too, share
me this sentiment.
Having said that, your experience with Office 2007 might well be totally
different from mine. And if I am honest we are talking Office 2010 now so I
am not sure for how much longer one can resist upgrading to the later
versions of MS Office versions.
Lastly, there is a compatibility pack for Office 2003 which you can download
from MS site itself that enables it to handle Office 2007 formats.
Only my two pence worth!
Amro
