If you remember the commands from Word 2003, you can use most of them. But you can't open a menu and select one. So to get to the format paragraph dialog, you have to type alt-o, then p. To get to 'change case', it's alt-o, then e. Save-as is alt-f, then a, or f12.

Good luck!  the transition is a stinker, but eventually it's manageable.

You can change the font by pressing Alt-O-F or Shift Control-F or, best
of  all, Control D, which always has been delete - go figure. I learned
the second and third commands from listers. I too jumped from 2003 to
2013. Actually, I had a brief stint with 2010, which is about the same as
2013.

Bye for now,

Subject: Just switched to WORD 2013, any more hot keys suggestions?

Hello,

I just switched from WORD 2003 to 2013. The menu bar has been changed to
a ribbon menu for some years now. These ribbons are proving to be an
initial hurdle. I'm tabbing and arrowing in a fruitless search for what I
want.

When the ribbons first came out, Ihad heard that you could use some of
the old Menu Bar hot keys, but that isn't exactly true.

Alt+F doesn't bring up the old File menu.

Some of you provided the hot keys for changing the font.

How do I do a "save as"? That was in the File menu.
If I do a "alt+f a" I get a save as tab. There is no edit field.

How do I open a file? The ctrl+o gives me the open tab and recently
opened documents.
There is no edit field to type in the drive, path file-name that I used
to do.

I got started by using the tree to select an existing WORD document It
was opened by WORD. I could then open it as a recent document.


I just found the JAWS training, as DAISY books. These can be downloaded
so I downloaded the VirtualRibbonMenus.exe. It is an executable file.
How do I get it into a DAISY book format to transfer to my DAISY player?

Thanks for any help.
Peter T.
