The problem is that you can tab or arrow into a subRibbon, if you could call
it that, and the opposite keystroke such as a shift leftarrow or shift tab
does not bring you back to where you were when you used the keystroke that
got you into that subRibbon. If I go too far north along a sidewalk, I
expect to be able to accurately retrace my steps to get back to where I made
the error in judgment.

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
