[JAWS-Users] RE JAWS and Office 2007

2008-10-08 Thread First CRC Tom Vos
Let me just follow up my previous post with some words of encouragement.
Office 2007 is not extremely difficult to learn.
Yes, it takes some practice, and the menus have changed some.
ButI'm not a highly skilled computer user, and I picked it up rather
quickly, so I'm sure that you can too.
Just a bit of patience and self confidence will see you through a long
ways.
Blessings,
Tom

Hannah asks if Office 2007 is better than Office 2003.
My answer would be that if Office 2003, or even Office 2000 is working
well for you, you won't find any great advantage in upgrading.  In many
ways it does the same things, so there is no pressure to run out and
upgrade.
But for those who do have to deal with Office 2007, JAWS 9 works well
with it, and JAWS 10 beta 2 has improved it.
Sometimes we grumble about Microsoft monopoly, but that kind of market
share also gives them the freedom to put money into accesibility. I was
sitting on an airplane awhile back with my Pac Mate in my lap, and a man
came down the aisle, noticed my machine, and noted that he worked for
Microsoft in their accessibility division.
A company that is fighting for its market share may not be able to
provide as much accessibility.
Blessings,
Tom

[JAWS-Users] RE Jaws and Office 2007

Mar,,
I made the switch from Office 2000 to Office 2007 in January with JAWS 9,
and recently upgraded to JAWS 10.
I have found that JAWS 9 works very well with Office 2007, and JAWS 10
resolved a problem I had reading in Access.
Perhaps the biggest issue in making the switch to Office 2007 is the
change to ribbon menus.
Please encourage your people that using Office 2007 is very doable.
There is a learning curve with the change to ribbon menus.
Many of the key strokes are the same as previous versions.
Alt T, plus S, still puts you in the spell checker.
Alt O, plus C still opens the columns menu window.
Alt O, plus F still brings up the font window.
I urge new users of Office 2007 to set aside some time to explore.
Then, as they discover how to access the commands they need to use,
prepare a "cheat sheet" to which they can go back to, until the commands
are committed to memory.
Blessings,
Tom
