Because they claim customer feedback which shows that people can't find
menu items if they're hidden through to many layers (read submenus),
can't memorise/visualise where they are. I've seen some explanations
which put this forth, but i don't have URL's to hand to find them.
instead of things being layered horizontally as a basis, they are being
layered more hierarchically and in shorter cross-sections. The blind
have to fight against or with a stronger tide, is what it amounts to.

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Virtual Ribbon verses Microsoft Ribbons
So then, why did MS introduce them?
Do the sighted enjoy stumbling around in the semi darkness?

Semantics. In Word and Excel, there are the more general top line
ribbons and the more specific bottom line ribbons. The top line
ribbon has a home position, helpful to navigating.
The bottom ribbon (which I called a line) has sub parts, which the
JAWS virtual ribbon feature makes look like the sub menus on the top
line menu familiar to most of us. The whole point of the JAWS virtual
ribbon menu is to create the appearance of the top line menu/sub menu
combination.
All of this said, navigating ribbons is a bit like navigating a ship
at night by sight using sunglasses.
Cheers.

So far, I prefer the JAWS virtual ribbon as I don't use much on
the
second line menus on Word and use mainly keystrokes on Excel. The
JAWS
virtual ribbon works fine for me in Thunderbird. Drawback to the
JAWS
virtual ribbons: Cant use first letter navigation on the lower
ribbon.
I've heard conflicting tales about the JAWS virtual ribbon
leaving out
some menu choices.
But, like I said, I'm a newby to virtual ribbons.

Hi Jaws users,
Is it easier to use the virtual ribbon in jaws as to just using
the
Microsoft ribbons? I would like opinions from all you Jaws users
as to
which way you have your pc setup. Which one is easier to use.
