I disagree, I would not tell new Jaws users to turn off the virtual ribbons in the jaws settings. You said you have not used them for years. Using the Jaws virtual ribbons makes the task of using the ribbons for word and outlook 2016 so much easier. Also, the addition of the tell me feature, also helps to find what you are looking for much easier.

It is handy, but you become dependent on them and they don't work as well as the original menus, since they don't use first-letter navigation. I tried them briefly years ago and decided to buckle down and just learn to use the ribbons.

Hello, When it comes to navigating MS Word ribbons I'm pretty much a beginner. I've memorized certain shortcut keys to do very specific things but need to learn how to navigate these ribbons. Right now virtual ribbons are turned on .. Would it be easier and more efficient to learn the ribbons if I turned this off? I want and need to learn as much as I can so any feedback and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
