My advice is not to upgrade. Whilst it is possible obviously for Jaws 9 and
10 Users to move from 2003 to 2007 it is an awful lot of hassle for
minuscule if any productivity gains. I hated the ribbon replacement for the
menu system.  Strategies that were instinctive and easy in 2003 suddenly
became complicated. I have taken Office 2007 off my system and reinstalled
2003. As much was omitted from 2007 as was added. Many sighted friends have
also concluded that they also do not consider 2007 an upgrade.

It is interesting that on the last occasion  I checked 2003 was costing more
than 2007 on EBay reflecting I think the general market valuation of 2007.

The 2007 file conversion utility allows file compatibility between 2003 and
2007.

So personally if I was working in a workplace which compelled me to do a so
called  "upgrade" to 2007 I would be quite upset.

I support several clients who are currently using JAWS V9 with Office
2003 and we will be upgrading them to Office 2007 soon.  I'm interested in
any feedback from anyone who has made this switch.  Any specific issues that
may need to be addressed, tips or tricks, anything at all.
