[JAWS-Users] Office 2007 VS 2010

[wayne smith]

Hello-

 

I am still using MS Office 2007 with Windows 7 and JAWS 14.  Have you found
that there is a reason to move up to Office 2010 in terms of more
functionality or ease of use?  If I did move up to 2010 would it be
important to also switch to JAWS 15?  I was under the impression that JAWS
15 was designed for Windows 8 and not needed for us 7 users.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Wayne

Accessibility is about the same, assuming you have the latest version of the 
screen-reader, from my limited playing with Office 2010 basic, and more 
experience with Office 2007 HomeStudent and Professional.


In Office 2010, Outlook has instituted the ribbons that they hadn't put in 
on the 2007 version.  Word, Excel, all continue to have the ribbon interface 
now.

Hello



I have been trying to use a free office suite called Open Office.org but
there are just too many functions that either are not accessible or 
require
many steps to get them to work.  Are there Office 2010 users out there 
that

can tell us if it is more accessible than Office 2007, yet?  I want to buy
one of them but do not have enough information to make a good choice.  I 
am

using Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit and JAWS 11.



Thanks, in advance, for any help,



Wayne
