I'll send the information & steps I've typed up to the head honcho & let him make the decision on if it can be posted or not. Thank you all again. Take care.

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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike B." <mb69ma...@charter.net> To: "Jaws-Users List" <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Saturday, March 15, 2014 9:09 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Ribbons Navigation > Hi All, > > I'll get right to the point.
