Caroline;
is there any big difference in 2007 to 2003 apart from the change of look?
I once had a problem with 2003 not being able to open files created by 2007, 
but I downloaded a file converter and it works well with files made with 2007
I always had the experience of 2007 not working well with JAWS 7, so I am now 
using JAWS 9 and it also works well with 2003.

  2007 works just fine. The problem is that Microsoft saw it fit to redesign 
the program, and although the ribbon has a very similar feel to the menu bar, 
options have been moved around. Traditional hotkeys still work, but if you're 
not overly familiar with those commands learning the new layout can be 
frustrating. If you have 2003, and if you're comfortable with it, stick with 
it. If you want a challenge, definitely go for 2007.

    Why would 2K7 be better. I thought many people were having problems with 
2k7. I use 2k3 and it works perfect.

    Hi it is going to work out of the box just fine.  Office 2k3 will work just 
fine with vista.  You would do better with 2k7 though.  

    No nothing needs to be changed to make jaws work with it.  As for having a 
little fit shame on you for doing so before you new if you had something to 
have a fit about.  Smile.

    Hi,

     

    I just received the word that we are planning to go to Vista at work.  I 
had a little fit, but my boss assures me that it will be ok.  So, here's the 
question.  Is JAWS really working ok with Vista.  Can one use MS Office 2003 
with Vista?  Is anyone using Duxbury with Vista?  I appreciate hearing your 
opinions.  Thank you.  Linda
