I'm quite sure that the level of support will not be equal to what is working today in MS Office but you must realize, we have been working on MS Office and the Object Model it provides, for 15 years now. Having said that, I encourage you to install the Lotus Symphony Office and try it for yourselves. There should be no harm in trying it out.

Hi all. I use JAWS with Microsoft Office. But what exactly does IBM Lotus include for JAWS users, and does JAWS stay constantly up-to-date with version3.x that appears to be the latest release? How well does email work (if a client is provided) etc? Does it work better (or less) than Microsoft Word? What document types can JAWS users save documents in, can we create professional documents with it? Does it have menu bars, ribins, or what? I'm curious if JAWS13 will keep the support for it going? I'm also wondering if future updates will keep that Lotus product going as well such as the cool minor builds Freedom Scientific releases now, up to the final release of a new release? I've liked how you folks kept JAWS11 updated even though you did release JAWS12 and such, for instnace. I hope you will do that for JAWS12 users as well, Eric and others at Freedom Scientific. But since Eric is the product manager, I'd like to hear from him on that. If other users who have used JAWS with IBM Lotus can ttestify for me on how well it works and some of the "layout" questions I asked like menus etc, acrossed the apps, how well email works if that is provided, if IMap is supported, and so on, I'd kind of like to know. I'm considering trying it. But I don't want to install it without knowing what I'm gettting myself in for. I am on Windows Seven sixty four bit, so does IBM Lotus work with this? I will not downgrade my OS just because it does not work if that is true.
