Somehow that does not work well for me rather than just diving into the regular ribbon.

It is found in the help menu of JAWS under the start-up wizard about three screens in. check the box and JAWS will view the menu as vertical rather than horizontal.

Eventually, you learn Alt what to hit and just go there. The ribbons are sort of, in my mind, a sideways menu. Precisely, precisely, and precisely. I miss the menus, but that's because I was "raised on" the menus. There's nothing that's more intuitive about the menu system than the ribbon system, it's just that those of us who were used to the former were quite jolted by the latter. The relocation of stuff, particularly since I don't use keyboard shortcuts as my primary access method, was very jarring. The majority of "the common controls" use the same keyboard shortcuts that they have since the inception of MS-Office.
