You have my genuine respect for giving it a go sir. I'll be as much help
as
I can, I am a single mom and full time student going through finals, so
please be patient with any time lapses that may occurr. It isn't because
I
don't want to help.
Now, What operating system are you using? I ask because that will tell me
where to direct you to find your default programs setting. In XP, I
believe
it is in the All Programs menu, or it is in the control pannel. I have
not
used XP for several years, so don't remember where things are exactly.
Do a little exploring, and see if you can find it.
As far as the ribbons are concerned, they are frustrating for everyone who
comes to them from the classic menu style, sighted or not. They are
merely
icons in a string, so many sighted people are frustrated by them grately.
We are at somewhat of an advantage, because at least JAWS tells us what
we're looking at, it's not just some abstract picture of say, a pair of
binoculars for zooming. They are completely usable though, and many of
the
old hotkeys are still functional, so finding a list of hotkeys may be of
use. I use them frequently, such as control shift P to control and
minnipulate my fonts and style.
Hope this is helpful,
Melissa

Thank you for your continued interest; yes all of those programs were
included along with the e-mail and a notebook organizer type of program.
No, I have not tried to reinstall or remedy at all. Once the word program
has opened a word pad file, it works fine. It simply has a long fight
before
being able to open the word pad file. Frankly, I prefer to have access to
the word pad files without interference from word 2007 because it is so
much
easier for me until I get a better grasp of the 2007 commands; I have not
used word for more than ten years and am very rusty.
You mention 'default' possibilities; that would be fine by me if I can
direct 2007 not to be the default for some time while I am engaged in the
learning curve. Melissa, I am eighty years of age, and getting up to speed
with 2007 may be a while.
It has been my experience that settings often can be fixed to make
programs
more compatible with Jaws and wonder about any such possibility with 2007.
I also mentioned a possibility of finding a tutorial which might help me
understand the 'ribbon' and other features. I do have the Reference on
2007
from the Printing House but could appreciate a little more verbiage in its
approach.
Sorry to have so much to say and ask. Thanks for your thoughts, and thanks
for anything more you can add.
Lloyd

Have you tried re-installing or repairing this? What other programs did
it
come with? I'm assuming Power POint, Xcel, and perhaps Outlook?
Also, what O.S. are you running it on. The reason I'm asking is that it
should be causing you any difficulties, that isn't normal behavior. You
can
set it as the Default program when opening files, which would prevent any
conflicting programs.
Warmly,
Melissa

Thank you for your questions. I purchased it through e-bay, it was the
suite, it was on a disk. Sorry to have neglected information which may
help.
Thanks.

The Student Word program you purchased, is this Microsoft Word, and did
you
purchase it from Microsoft, or from somewhere else? Did it come on a
disc,
or was it a download? And was it part of the student office suite?
Just some questions to make it easier to help you.
Warmly,
Melissa

Subject: [JAWS-Users] problems with student word 2007
Hi,
Recently I purchased the student Word program and am having trouble with
it.
1 are there settings which would make it easier to operate, where could
I
find such suggestions?
2 when I try to open files made in word pad, this program tries to open
them
and is very slow at it; is there some way to turn this student Word
program
off when I am working in Word Pad?
Thanks for any help and for any direction to a tutorial on this program.
I am using XP, and Jaws 11.
Thanks,
Lloyd
