It works fairly well, but from what I understand Freedom Scientific has not
yet ensured that Office 2003 is accessible. I have not had any major
problems with it, but here's one example of something that didn't work well.
I know how to create mailing labels in Word using an Excel database, but I
was unable to do it with Office 2003, because they've created a new and
improved module for mailing labels; unfortunately it doesn't seem to be very
speech friendly.
That was the only significant problem I found. By the way, I'm using
Windows XP Home edition, not Professional. Not sure if that makes a
difference. I was going to upgrade to Professional, but I think it requires
a more expensive version of JAWS. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong on that.

Subject: the accessibility of office 2003 with jaws 5.00.844?
Hi I would like to know how well does the new version of office (office
2003) work with jaws 5.00.844 on a windows xp professional machine in
regards to accessibility?
I would imagine that it would work just the same, but I'm just curious,
since the college will also be converting to that as well in the summer
before I get there and if there are any concerns about it, I would like to
perhaps let the people there know so that they don't upgrade to it and then
later on we find that it is inaccessible (by the way accessibility wise) I
mean word in regards to the spell checker and things of that sort) I also
believe that I also mean access and excel also.
Any help with this would be appreciated.
Thank you
