[JAWS-Users] JFW 12 virtual ribbon: Am I missing something?
Hello. I've just been listening to a recent FS podcast on JFW12 including the demo of the JFW 12 virtual ribbon for MS office components. Recently I saw a few listers bit discouraging of the virtual ribbon. to me after listening to the demo I feel its awesome as it turns all the ribbons and sub ribbons and the diff menu items within them to be controlled simply with the up/down and right/left arrow keys just like it used to be in Office 03. So if I activate the JFW virtual ribbon I don't have to bother figuring out the tab, enter and arrow commands of the Office 07/10 ribbon if I had the JFW virtual ribbon turned off. Am I missing something or does the JFW virtual ribbon really turn navigating and opening/closing all the menu items in the various office ribbons into a process just like in old 03 menu bars?

I think it is very similar, but I do think using the virtual ribbon is going to take some getting use to again. I just really started getting the hang of the ribbon system half way decently and I have been using MS Word 07 practically since it came out. *LOL*. I turned it on just to check it out and I do think once I get the hang of it more things will be readily accessible than I had prior to this virtual menu that is offered in Jaws 12. - Original Message - From: "Dujari, Prateek" To: Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2010 7:53 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] JFW 12 virtual ribbon: Am I missing something?

I love the virtual ribbon! Tried it with WordPad last night and it's brilliant! I didn't know for example that I could set word wrap to "wrap to window" or change a setting to hide the ruler. Without the virtual ribbon I could easily have missed those features. Don't prove me wrong, I can use the ribbons as they are, but like the JAWS help system says due to how the ribbon is laid out from a usability standpoint one could easily miss a group of settings without realizing. So the virtual ribbon just makes navigation easier. Just my £0.02 worth.
