The virtual menus are awesome! I had gotten used to the ribbons in Word for
most tasks. However, in some groups, I move on to the next group without
knowing there are more items in the current group. The thing I have hated
about the ribbons is the inconsistency in the interface. It is hard to know
when Up arrow will go back to the top ribbon or move to additional options
in a group. If you have any sight, it is probably obvious. Virtual ribbons
finally let me explore and find all of the options!
I think allowing editing combo boxes within the virtual menus is genius! It
makes the entire virtual menus consistent.
Virtual menus are not working for me in Excel. I think I have destroyed the
standard Excel menus over the last two years attempting to get certain tasks
done easier. Does anyone know how to revert back to the standard, default
Excel menus? I want to wipe out all my customizations and get virtual menus
working. Settings Manager does show they are enabled.
If virtual ribbons destroy the native ribbon feel or you have memorized
sequences of keys to perform tasks, the virtual ribbon capability can be
turned off. I wonder if a toggle for virtual menus can be tied to a hotkey?

There is just so much stuff in the world that, to me, is devoid of any real
substance, value, and content that I just try to make sure that I am working
on things that matter.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Virtual Ribbon Menus
Hello all.
Although I got used to the actual ribbon I do prefer the virtual ribbon
menus in JAWS 12. It works very well and I can get to what I want quickly
and efficiently.
