hello; well; if I were wanting to print out an envelope, using word 2007,
1, menu right arrow until you hear mailing tab, now, use the tab key, the first press of the tab key you will see/hear, envelope. now, press enter. or, within the document, press, alt+m+e, you don't press enter on the mailings tab, however, if your using the jaws virtual ribbon feature, then after going to the menu, right arrow to mailings tab, now press enter, now right arrow one time, you will see envelope. I don't use the jaws ribbon feature, so, I can use the shortcut keys. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Gerald Levy Sent: Sunday, March 16, 2014 9:55 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Ribbons Navigation It's not that simple. Here's a specific example of why the ribbon menus are so maddening. Suppose I want to print an envelope using Word 2007, but I can't recall the quick tip keys to access the Envelopes option on the Mailings tab. First, I press Alt to bring up the menu tabs, then use right arrow to scroll to the Mailings tab and select it by pressing Enter. The first item I encounter after pressing Tab is Labels. If I continue to tab from this point, I will get dozens of options , but never encounter the Envelopes option. However, if I navigate back to the Labels option and then press Shift-Tab or Shift-left arrow, the Envelopes option magically appears. This behavior certainly doesn't make any sense to me. Why doesn't the Envelopes option appear when you keep pressing Tab? Why do you have to press Shift-Tab from the Labels option to find it? And navigating the ribbon menus in MS Office is one thing, but what about the ribbon menus for Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer which are used in Windows 8? This is a whole other ball game altogether.
