I am using Windows Vista with a 32 bit system on a HP laptop, with JAWS
version 11 and Office 2007. I have encountered your saving issues myself.
Whenever the problem occurs, what you can try to do is copy all of the
information and place it in a new document. Also, as one other poster
suggested, go into your options settings and set it up to save at specific
time intervals. Regarding the ribbons, for me personally, they are
infuriating because I cannot remember all of the keyboard commands for
documents and spreadsheets. There are websites where you can get all of the
keyboard commands and save it on your computer for quick references. Hope
all of this helps.

I had problems with Word 2003 on my XP computer. I have a sighted computer
person who transferred all my stuff to the WIN7 computer last December. I
thought the Word problem would disappear on the new computer, but it
didn't.
It's hard to describe but occasionally, when I try to close a document, it
won't close. It tells me that it's still open somewhere else even when I
have a document that hasn't been saved and I just want to close it. It
tells
me that it wants to rename the document as "normal" and if I won't do
that,
it asks me if I want to change the universal template. If I say "no", I
can
close the document. But if I'm trying to save a document and Word decides
to
do this, then I lose the document.

I don't use virtual ribbons at all. I have office 2007, and between
digging
around and using the old keystrokes which mostly still work, I do fine.
Office doesn't generally just quit, either you have something wrong with
your computer's hardware or you have some sort of virus.

I have not upgraded to Jaws 14 yet and I've been using a very old
version of Word, 2003, I think. I do have this Win7 computer. This old
version of word needs to be replaced because it is not saving properly
and it's losing data in documents. I'm not sure which version uses
Ribbons. But my question is, are a lot of you using Virtual Ribbons and
is
that helpful?
