And, we, as creen reader users, have not been the only ones aggravated by the new interface. I've read it's caused others a lot of consternation. Recently I read of some who decided they didn't want to have to deal with a new learning curve for not much real performance change. Microsoft didn't take the opportunity to fix table styles, which have been broken for over a decade. They didn't fix the master documet feature either. I understand many have moved over to Open Office. Since that's not a good option for us and as much as I hate to say we have to suck it up and take what's there, in this case at least, I don't see another good solution, at least not for those of us who have to use complex formatting features in Word. So, I've decided it's time to take the plunge.
Recently when I made the switch to Windows 7 I had some good help from several of you here, including CathyAnne. So, for those of us who haven't already made the switch, I guess I wish us all good luck.

Hi, and there is a nice little utility for those of you who just can't stand the ribbon. N now why you can't stand the ribbon is beyond me because it is majorly cool. But for those of you who don't like it do a Google search for classic menus for office. That will add to your ribbon a classic menu interface so you get all the new features of 2k7 with the classic interface of 2k3. Now try something new every once and a while, and remember just because you are not used to something doesn't mean it is not accessible. It just means you are not used to it. The ribbon is a good example of this. -----Original Message----- From: Ray Campbell [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, April 30, 2010 7:09 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: word 2007 is horrible I want my word 2003! Hi. You know what? The rest of the world, including potential employers, is using Word 2007. So, you might as well learn it now. I know you don't want to hear this right now, but it's really not that bad once you get used to it. I use Word 2007 all of the time with few problems. Once you learn where things are in the ribbon, you will be fine. Many of the keystrokes you have learned, such as ctrl-S to save files, ctrl-N for new documents, ctrl-O to open files, ETC. still work.
