I have office 2002 and seem to have some problems with outlook. I was
wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to get a copy of office 2003
someplace. I am not interested indealing with the ribbons with jaws.

Subject: Who Needs JAWS 12 Anyway?
One of the new features mentioned in the JAWS 12 preview I posted yesterday
is a "virtual ribbon" option that will emulate the classic menus in Office
2003 while retaining the ribbon menu structure everyone loves to hate. For
those of you who do not plan to upgrade to JAWS 12, I just discovered a
great little app called Ubit Menu that adds the classic Office 2003 menus to
the Office 2007/10 ribbon menu. Once you download and install this app, you
bring up the ribbon menu by pressing Alt, right arrow to the Menu tab and
hit Enter. Then you can tab and shift tab through the various classic 2003
menu options for Word, Excel and Power Point. It works well with JAWS 9,
and does not disrupt the existing ribbon menu structure in any way. So you
can have your cake and eat it too; classic Office 2003 menus, or the newer
and more frustrating Office 2007/10 ribbon menus. So who needs JAWS 12
anyway? Besides, Ubit Menu is availabel now, so you don't have to wait for
JAWS 12 to be released.
