I Want to thank all those who have responded to this thread, In particular those of you who are New, Win-Eyes users because of the MS-Office offer, and to Doug. I have forwarded a selection of the responses to the appropriate Tech-users' group, and have received almost immediate back-peddling responses over the phone. Good job, folks!

The Office version of Window-Eyes works with everything the full retail copy does. The windoweyesforoffice.com web page talks about the only differences. These are the default synthesizers, support, CD, print material. But the functionality of Window-Eyes is identical. There is no way a GW Micro representative would ever say the Office version only works with Office and nothing else. Feel free to have these people contact us directly or visit the windoweyesforoffice.com web page.
