I am finding the recent ribbon menu discussions helpful as I struggle to
transition from rank ribbon neophyte to journeyman. I'm using win7, 64
bit. When I land on a dropdown grid in an element on a lower ribbon I
attempt to use the arrow keys as instructed and nothing happens. None
of the other navigational techniques I know work either - tab, etc. I
enabled the JAWS ribbon menu for ease of access. Any ideas how to
unlock the dropdown grid's secrets?
More generally..I see where not using the JAWS ribbon menu feature can
be advantageous to one who can first letter navigate. Is the ribbon
menu feature just the equivalent of training wheels? This said, I use
Word only for drafts and won't likely need more than an occasional
layout and print color change. Bottom line, I don't like extensive
tabbing or arrowing so maybe going cold turkey to the pure ribbon view
may work for me. May I have a quick intro to using ribbons without the
virtual ribbon menu feature?
