I am glad that the next time they come out with office they are going to incoporate both. The ribbons are so darn confusing. I wish that everything in the ribbons were sorted by category. It would make better sense than having things scattered all over the place.

HI Dave,I know they're keeping the ribbon, but I've heard that so many people have complained about the ribbon that, at least in the next version of Office, they're going to incorporate both. I'm glad that your experience with ribbons hasn't been as hellish as mine, but I don't think your reaction is representative of most users. From what I can tell, the introduction of ribbons has been an enormous flop.--Bill----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Carlson" <dgcarlson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, January 02, 2010 9:36 PM Subject: Re: Open officeBill,I used to think like you, but after using Office 2007 for a few months I can navigate around fairly easily in the ribbon.

I've looked online and practically everyone who's used the Office suite over thelast fifteen years is outraged because the ribbons thing makes no sense. Some arrogant 22 year old probably figured he knew a better way than the classic menues --despite the fact that we've all been using themproductively and happily with no complaints. I hope that guy has been firednow, or run over by a car. --Bill----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel McGee" <mc-g@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, January 02, 2010 3:21 PM Subject: Re: Open officeHi Kerri, just on the subject of open office with jaws once I used it andquickly got rid of it. Can you you tell me one thing I notice straightaway was that the "say all" command doesn't work that's to say you do thecommand and jaws just reads the current line your sitting on. Is this correct? I was surprised that Jaws doesn't work with this programme. I would really like it someone out there could be really brave and do somework with making it accessable meaning the programme and of course Jaws! Ido really think I would use it then cos I must admit I hate microsoft's word 2007 I really find it hard about the rybin and such. Maybe someone could do a podcast on office programmes 2007 I know there's the daisy book you can download but personally I would prefer a more in deathtraining on office 2007. If any one knows more infomation on a podcast onthis with Jaws then please! let me know!

The spell check is the worst I've ever seen as Jaws says Graphic 887 whenever it tries to spell check. .----- Original Message ----- From: "Soronel Haetir" <soronel.haetir@xxxxxxxxx>To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, January 02, 2010 1:59 PM Subject: Re: Open officeI've seen messages on one of the jaws lists saying it works once you install the java access bridge. Haven't tried it personally though, never liked OpenOffice even when I could see.
