Actually, I mentioned 2010 only because that's what qualifies one for the program. JAWS does a fine job on 2010, but we have one Internet app that's a real washout. The vendor says it's accessible, and I have to keep proving it isn't. We've even discussed Window Eyes a time or two, but I wasn't going to ask my cabinet to pour money down what could prove to be a dry well. With no financial risk, though, that might be a horse of a different color.

Subject: Re: Jaws To Window Eyes Ted, Yes, window eyes does give the option of choosing a jaws style layout for basic commands, though I have to say it didn't help me very much since the window eyes control panel is still the window eyes control panel and I found it confusing and hard to deal with. This is just my experience and I know others are having success with window eyes. What specifically is giving you trouble in office 2010? I use office 2010 at work and office 2013 at home with little trouble. Maybe I can help.
