But you have to remember more shortcut keys, and more often, than in the
past! It takes longer to move around the ribbons.

this is true while the drop down menus were replaced by the ribbons the
shortcut keys still work, so if you remember the shortcut keys your fine!

I think Landa nailed it. As Microsoft Office became more complex, pull
down menus did not enable most users to see more than a few controls
without going to sub menus. Hence, the ribbon, which had been in use in
other software products, was adapted to replace much of the top line
apparatus. This said, not all ribbon controls are logical nor highly
visible either. e.g. page renaming in Excel comes under a layer called
cells. Fortunately, hot keys perform the most common functions in
office, bypassing the need to overheat the tab keys.

arrow across the upper ribbon to find the different tabs. If you press
tab, you will be in the choices for that ribbon. The tab key, in my
opinion, is the most reliable way to move from item to item on the lower
ribbon. Control right and left arrow is supposed to move you from group to
group on the ribbon so that you can move through the choices faster. You
also have accelerators that will let you press a series of letters to do
things more quickly. Hope this helps a little. I know sighted people who
don't like it either because they don't know where things are. On the
other hand, I know people who love it because they can find obscure
options more quickly.

Where in the world did Office 2010 and other newer programs come up with
this ribbon idea? It makes no sense to me. I just got some directions,
keep
them handy and follow them. I guess it makes sense to somebody.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] another marathon session with Microsoft
This was quite interesting. For two days there was a critical security
update for MS office 2010 that would fail every time. Finally I called
the
accessibility support team. After two attempts they started running some
diagnostic and clean up tools. One of the first questions asked was if I
ever ran any registry cleaners. When I told him no he was glad to hear
that.
Then he tried it again and it failed. He then wanted to uninstall office
2010 and had quite a few problems. He ran some fix it tools and finally
was
able to uninstall it. We reinstalled and it took a long time to apply 39
critical updates. Every thing there is now working fine. As soon as it
was
completed I created a restore point and started a system backup. We were
on
the phone for almost 2 hours.
