Sounds like a plan. From what I hear, 2016 is not a lot better-no million-dollar improvement to make me want to switch. But, if I were back in 2003, I might have a different perspective. Some cool things have happened since then, and I strongly recommend you consider it. The new PDF capabilities dovetail nicely with JAWS' new PDF capabilities, so you wind up with a really strong package, especially if your employer participates in Microsoft's discount program. You get a full-featured suite for pennies on the dollar.

Ted From: James Homuth [mailto:[email protected]]<mailto:[mailto:[email protected]]> Sent: Thursday, February 25, 2016 5:03 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: JAWS 14 with MS Office 2013 or 2016? So it's becoming high time I give thought to retiring my old installation of Office 2003. For reasons a-plenty, most of them outlined on this list, I'm holding off on JAWS 16 or 17 for the next little while. So my question would be this. How useable are later versions of Office, either 2013 or 2016, with JAWS? I fully expect just about everything to require a learning curve, but if half of that learning curve isn't telling JAWS not to do something dumb, then I may just go for it anyway. Thoughts and opinions are, of course, always welcome and even encouraged.
