I have a question. When I press control plus F1, I hear Ribbons Expanded, Inactive. What does this mean and is this set as it should be for best results and operation? -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Gerald Levy Sent: Tuesday, March 18, 2014 1:05 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Ribbons Navigation
Not in Word 2007. When I toggle Control-F1, there is no announcement of any kind. The only way I can tell for sure whether the ribbons are minimized or maximized is to launch the context menu and see whether the minimize the ribbons option is unchecked or checked, respectively. .
