And, the thing is, there's a big difference between true inaccessibility and just plain change. I don't like Word 2007, plain and simple. However, it's not due to inaccessibility, it's due to the fact that I've been using Word since the 1997 version, and I'm used to my options being where I think they should be. But, this has absolutely nothing to do with JAWS. I have a program that I purchased for $30 that gives me back my 2003 menu options, yet still gives me the ribbon, so I've got the best of both worlds so to speak. But, inaccessibility and unfamiliarity are just two different things.

Well, if you're not having an actual problem, the simple truth of it is really to just get used to it. That's just the way it is. Yeah, it's confusing, but so is really anything the first few times, until you get used to it and figure out the tips and tricks that work best for you.Email: truthobjective@xxxxxxxxx or truthobjective@xxxxxxxxxxx WLM: truthobjective@xxxxxxxxxxx AIM: msd4283 Yahoo: msdriesnega Skype: markdriesenga----- Original Message ----- From: "Gerald Levy" <bwaylimited@xxxxxxxxxxx>To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, June 09, 2008 6:27 PM Subject: Re: Hello Jaws, meet Word07. Who's that?I never meant to imply that JAWS doesn't work with Word 2007. But even with JAWS 8.0, I find it a real hassle to navigate around the confusing ribbon menu system. I'm a KISS kind of guy, and wading through a myriad of bewildering font, color, style set, and format options just to type a simple business letter just doesn't make a lot of sense to me. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roy Nickelson" <roylee@visuall <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>Sent: Monday, June 09, 2008 4:53 PM Subject: Re: Hello Jaws, meet Word07.

When I bought my Dell Inspiron E1505, it came with Word 07. With thatwonderful, look-friendly ribbon and all that, it was a nightmare. When doyou suppose that Jaws will allow Word 07 to work properly? Do you think it'll be too late due to another version or OS?
