Dave, don't mean to criticize, but my learning curve from XP to windows 7 was
almost non existing. At least compared to the one that I had with office 2007
(in fact, if it weren't for jaws 12 I wouldn't learned word). The only medium
problem I had was the control panel. But by accident or by a God send gift, I
accidently hit the "medium icons" button on the control panel view tab. And
imagine my surprise when the control panel acquired--at least as seen by
jaws--an almost identical copy of the very loved classic view on the control
panel. But other than that, just a twick here and there. Seriously, if you are
migrating from vista I believe the learning curve becomes more like a strait.
lol. But be ware, the learning curve for office 2007/2010 is a spiral!

w/r Office 2010, if it's anything like Office 2007 you should make sure you
know many of those Alt key shortcut sequences in your sleep. Many of them (not
all) will work just fine if you press them in the same sequence as before. You
will find that you will not have any feedback during the sequence like in
Office 2003 -- no menu announcements, etc. You will have to go on blind faith,
so to speak.
Other than that, you'll probably find the virtual ribbon introduced in JAWS 12
will help you with any other Alt key combinations you either never memorized or
like me, just plain forgot.
And then you'll be learning the new Windows 7 interface, unless you install the
"classic shell" available as a download out there, somewhere.
All in all you'll be in a learning mode, so prepare for a period of relative
inefficiency.
Have fun!

Hello all,
I am contemplating upgrading from Vista and Office 2003 to Windows 7 and
Office 2010. my concern is that I like the Alt commands. Will I have these
commands available in my new environment?
Also, If I upgrade, where can I purchase this new software?
Thanks,
Alan
