Does anyone use microsoft 2007? Before I switched to jaws 9, I was having a lot of trouble, but now, it is a little easier, since this later version of jaws is supposed to work with it. However, I do not know my way around the menus, and as far as I can remember, jaws isn't always reading the entire document to me when I go back to edit it. does anyone else use this application? And if so, any quick tips I could use? Or is there some kind of tutorial I can go to in order to learn to work with this one? I am used to microsoft 2003, so this is really new to me! So any help would be greatly appreciated!

Yes. Any help with this would be much appreciated. I don't know why but shift f7 doesn't work for the thesorus. I can't be bothered to check the spelling of that. :d But yeah. Word count is a bitch to find too. lol So any help would be nice. Thanks.

My main problem is the ribbon menus, I cant seem to understand much of the layout. If there is some type of tutorial available, that would be great! Or any tips would be appreciated too!

Sometimes when I go through the ribbons I get stuck in a dialog box and have to start all over again.
I guess I will have to rely on keyboard shourtcuts to get to everything if I can find a list of all of them.

That would be useful! The thing I find most annoying is, you cant hit things like "alt v" to get to view, etc.

Hi, I'm using Jaws 8.0 though I'm considdering an update. For the menu ribbons, you should be able to use the Alt key. I haven't had much trouble using commands like Alt A for Save as for example. Yeah, I'm not too thrilled with Word at the moment. If anyone knows how to solve these problems, please post your suggestions
