Mike,
I'll try this in general brief but rough summary, dealing with the idea
of it. You're familiar with tab controls? The different pages (ctrl+tab)
you get in multi-page dialog boxes? Well, ribbons are much the same as
them. You can also right- or left-arrow between each of them. Now you
have lower ribbons, or sub-ribbons, which will be accessed through their
parent ribbons - often down-arrow from such if there's a sub-or
lower-ribbon present on an option. The JAWS Virtual Ribbons are not the
real Ribbons, and indeed, in some cases they rearrange many things in
the structure and leave other things out. Another way to regard them is
as if they were toobars activated with buttons. (You may recall Excel
had plenty of those.)
Now the good news is that there are many, many hot keys associated with
the items in the Ribbons, that can be activated. However, it does take
longer to accomplish a task i.e., more keystrokes, that formerly used to
be a quite simple structural through the menu approach. Things are now
more layered than they were, i.e. more vertical rather than linear.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Ribbons Navigation
Hi All,
I'll get right to the point. The ribbons in Office 07 & up frustrate
the
hell out of me! I've been searching for a good tutorial that explains
the
ribbons, i.e, both upper & lower, & navigating the with without using
the
Jaws Virtual Ribbons option & I'm not having any luck. I just can't
get the
hang or get my head wrapped around on how to navigate ribbons & I
guess
it's high time I start living in the new world of Office! I would
really
like a tutorial that really breaks the ribbons & navigating them down
in
simple, easy to understand steps. I need something really simple
because
I'm certainly a knucklehead when it comes to this ribbons crap! LOL,
hahaha hahaha hahaha, LOL
So folks, any help will be graciously accepted & greatly appreciated.
Thanks much.
Take care.
Mike
