Unfortunately, the newer Office suites have gone to the ribbon type menu, so
it will be different than Office 2007. I think Outlook did not use ribbons
in 2010 yet, but since your Office 2007 is expiring, I'd guess 2010 is going
to be getting long in the tooth.
You can still use Office 2007, but I think those notifications mean that you
won't get any security rollouts for Office 2007 any more. In just about
every monthly Windows update that comes out on the second Tuesday of the
month, there are usually updates for various Office programs. I have Office
2010 Pro and routinely receive updates for the program, Word 2010, Excel and
Outlook quite often; almost every month.
So, you can use 2007, I suspect, but you just won't get any security
patches. So, it is use-at-your-own-risk. Personally, I don't think the
risk is as great as it is with using a web browser or an out-of-date Windows
system, but I don't want to overly minimalize the risks.
In other words, if you choose to use Office 2007, just beware that there
will be some inherent vulnerabilities the longer you go past the
end-of-support period.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Have to get new MS office suite
Well, it is here. I am getting notices from Microsoft that my MS Office
2007
is no longer supported. I have basic needs and do not want to have to
relearn everything again if I don't have to. I can upgrade through my
school
to something less than 365. I could use some advice as to which MS Office
is most constant with the older version. I have used 2010 and it worked
reasonable well. I Have Windows 7 and JAWS 15 but I do have upgrades to
current versions that I have not used. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
On
a related note I currently have my emails sent to my MS Outlook 2007. If I
upgrade will the folders that I have created automatically export to say
Outlook 2016?
Thanks for any help,
Wayne
