hello Mandy; whether it's good to have the virtual ribbon menu off or on, is a personal preference. having the virtual ribbon menu on, helps folks navigate the menu using the alt-key, and using the right/left arrow to navigate. having the virtual ribbon off, allows folks to use the hot-keys, plus, with the ribbon off, you can use both arrow keys, and the tab key within the menu's.
hope this helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mandy" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, February 08, 2011 4:56 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Message Rules.

There have been emails about this before which unfortunately I have not kept. I am using Windows Live mail with the latest update and finding message rules is very hit and miss. It seems I have to do alt v and then cursor down to the lower ribbon and just keep tabbing around in hope but it is taking ages and still I cannot find it. Help!Mandy.
