Start by listening to the training materials from FS on the ribbons, office
2007.
Next, NBP sells braille reference card books on Office 2007 Word, Excel,
PowerPoint and Outlook. They are not perfect because it takes forever to
find things but they do help with the keyboard combinations needed to
complete many tasks.
Third, when exploring the ribbons, pressing alt brings them up, to explore
the home ribbon, press the down arrow and then tab through the options, or,
hold down the shift and right arrow through the various sections-be careful,
font has an edit box and if you get stuck in there you have to press escape
and start over again and tab past the edit box. Explore the other ribbon
tabs in similar fashion.
Fourth, Access Technology has a good tutorial on Vista the ribbons and how
to navigate if you are willing to pay.
Fifth, if you are a bookshare member, look for GETTING STARTED WITH OFFICE
2007 and other GETTING STARTED titles and download the books, these books
have some figures, but they offer both mouse clicks and keyboard commands
for most options. If you want more detailed books get the MISSING MANUAL
SERIES they also offer. These are DAISY books, and will after being
unpacked work well on a Victor Stream.

Subject: jaws with microsoft ofice 2007
our company just upgraded our microsoft office products to 2007. so I'm
currently doing a little bit of attempted catch up. since the new system
uses these lovely ribbons, my question is are there any suggestions by jaws
users out there what is the best way to use the new 2007 stuff? Just get
use to the ribbons, or is there a way to switch so that one has the menus
back like office 2003 had?
thanks for all your suggestions
have a good day.
p.s. if its a matter of suck it up and get use to the new way of doing
things, do you have a suggestion of good tutorials or docs to read...
