Hi Kerry, thank you for responding to my question. I kind of figured that they had changed Word 2007, but I had never used Word 2003 so I couldn't compare the two. I will check on a upgrade for my jaws 6.

Hi Lisa, Sounds like you have a couple of problems. First off, support for Microsoft office 2007 starts with version 8 I believe, so I do think your version is too old. Secondly, these they have changed the entire layout for office 2007. It think now they call them ribbons instead of tool bars or some such thing. Someone else on here may be able to give you some extra tips, but I think you'll need to upgrade your jfw to get maximum use out of your new programme.

I recently purchased and installed Microsoft office student and home adition 2007 on my computer. This includes Microsoft word which I always wanted to have because I thought it would be better then the HJ pad. I opened up a blank document in Word to write a letter, and I hit my alt key, so I could have a look at the menues. All it said was home tab press control tab to switch pages. I have never used Word 2003 with jaws, but a friend told me that the menues are totally accessible with jaws. I am running jaws 6, so I'm wondering if my version of jaws is too old for this newest version of Microsoft Word, or has Microsoft totally changed the way Word 2007 looks? When I rooted jaws to PC I didn't find things like file, edit, view, tools, and format. If anyone could help figure this out i'd really appreciate it!!! I have windows XP home adition, and I'm running jaws 6. Take care, Lisa , ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
