Hi Rich, I don't know but, it wouldn't hurt if you try it & let the list know if it does. I don't use WLM so, I can't try it myself. If you install it, & don't like it, you can remove it from the control panel / programs & features in Win7 or, in control panel / add remove programs in XP. It's a very small program / app & doesn't take much time to install / uninstall. Take care. Mike This email was sent from my, iBarstool.

I found this great little program / app called, UBit, that makes the ribbons work kind of like the older menues from older versions of Office. Go to the link below: http://www.ubit.ch/software/ubitmenu-languages/ Once you're on the website press the letter, H, to navigate by heading & you'll land on: UBitMenu for Office 2007, 2010 and 2013 Shortcuts Now, arrow down to: . Download English UBitMenu Click on the link to get the download. I'll put the steps for Office 2010 below. for private use (free for private use). This setup will work with Office 2007, 2010 and 2013. Close all open Office programs before installing! Office 2010 Steps: Personally, before using the Ubit program I turn a couple of things off in Jaws / Options/ Basics to cut down on excess Jaws chatter. They are: Tutor Message, Turn off Menu and Control Help Access Key, set to off. After installing the UBit program do the following to access the menues: MS Word: 1. Press the, Alt key, to open the menu bar. 2. Right arrow 2 times to the, Menu tab. 3. Now you can tab from menu to menu. When you are on the menu you want you'll hear, File sub-menu, for example, so, press enter to open the dropdown list & you can down or up arrow through the list of options. 4. When you are on the menu you want press enter or if you hear an option / button, press the spacebar to open. Note: That anything new to 2007 or later shows up at the bottom of the appropriate menu, so you don't lose anything. Excel: 1. Press the, Alt key, to open the menu bar. 2. Right arrow 2 times to the, Menu tab. 3. Now you can tab from menu to menu. When you are on the menu you want you'll hear, File button dropdown, for example so, press the spacebar to open the dropdown list & you can down or up arrow through the list of options. 4. When you are on the option you want press enter or if you hear an option / button, press the spacebar to open. Power Point: 1. Press the, Alt key, to open the menu bar. 2. Right arrow 2 times to the, Menu tab. 3. Now you can tab from menu to menu. When you are on the menu you want you'll hear, File button dropdown, for example so, press the spacebar to open the dropdown list & you can down or up arrow through the list of options. 4. When you are on the option you want press enter or if you hear an option / button, press the spacebar to open. HTH Take care.

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?
