Dear Dave,
Okay, got it!
And I certainly will take your suggestion about going to the FS site  and going 
over whatever they have there regarding Office 2007.

Thanks a lot!

With Best Regards,

  Quick Access Toolbar. You can customize it to mimic functions that might 
normally involve several keystrokes in the ribbon menu. These are accessed by 
pressing Alt then 1 or Alt then 2. Note that I didn't say Alt+1. QAT tool 
buttons require pressing Alt, releasing, then pressing one of the numbers in 
the top row. Most office applications have some pre-defined already, so give 
them a try.

  You should be able to learn more about the QAT if you go to the FS site in 
the training page and look at some past free webinars on Office and the ribbon.

    Dear Dave,
    Thank you for that information.

      Sorry, just never heard that before!

      Alan,

      And yes, it's hard to learn the ribbon, but not impossible. Using the QAT 
gets your often-used functions readily available, once you learn how to 
customize them to your needs.

        Hello Gary,
        Does the Virtual Ribbon work in JAWS 11?

        And how do you turn it off and on?

        Thanks for any help!
        This Ribbon thing is hard to learn!
        And the short Keys, although that would be the best way to go in my 
opinion, but a lot to remember!

          Mike,
          Your best bet is to go to Training under JAWS Help and look for the 
training module on the Virtual Ribbon.  If you don't find it there, check  for 
updates and download it.  You can also enter Virtual Ribbon into the search box 
on the Index page of JAWS Help and get some basic information on it.  The JAWS 
Virtual Ribbon feature doesn't really make the ribbon work like the menus in 
previous versions of MS Word, but it can make it easier to deal with.

            Hi folks!  I know the ribbons are introduced in Office 2007.  Isn't 
there a way that jaws reads the menus as in 2003?  Seems like I remember 
someone asking this before, but I don't have the answer here.  Thanks for any 
help!
