Re: [JAWS-Users] Office 365 subscription with Jaws 17
Annette: To make a long story short, I have just retired from my full-time University teaching position, and I was hoping that my University would allow me to do exactly what you are doing. That is, use Office 365 for e-mail, and just keep the rest of the Office 2010 suite in tact for other things. However, my University does not allow emeriti faculty to keep university-licensed software like Office 2010 on their computers, so I was faced with a choice. I decided to upgrade to Office 365 and endure the learning curve while I have the time to do so. I do have an old Windows 7 PC here with a personal copy of Office 2010 to fall back on when needed. So, hopefully, I'll be reasonably well covered for any eventuality. Will see, I guess.

Ed: Yes, I have found that to be true, and am quite happy about that. I installed Office 365 on my laptop this morning, and found that Office 2010 had not gone away, which is good. Not sure how much of a learning curve there will be for what I need, but at least I have a fallback. Thanks for the confirmation.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Office 365 subscription with Jaws 17
Jim: I am not sure if I am wording this question clearly, but is there a way I can get Microsoft Word under Office 2016 to look and act like Microsoft Word in Office 2010? I'm especially interested in being able to access various ribbon options the way I always have in Office 2010. Of course, the earlier menu structure that we all got so used to under Windows XP would be the best, but I'm sure I can adjust. (smile) Again, I'm using Windows 7 with Jaws 16 here.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Office 365 subscription with Jaws 17
You use your Microsoft account email and password, and you can use all of the Microsoft aliases email and the same Microsoft password for them to sign into all computers and devices using Office 365. You decide what you want to back-up and store on OneDrive. I was pleasantly surprised that the Microsoft store, Office.com web site, and the downloading and installing of Office 365 was totally accessible. There is a learning curve of course, especially for a first time user of outlook like myself. I am totally happy with all the programs I have tried so far with Jaws 17 on both my W-10 desktop and W-10 laptop. Now doing a manual set up for my Pop3 account in outlook was a little tricky, but after a phone call to my IP Provider, I typed in the correct information and all worked fantastically. Thanks for all the members who have helped me with outlook, especially Mr. Ed, I appreciate it very much.
