I use the virtual ribbon, and I certainly don't have ribbonphobia. I know how to use them, and I make sure my students do as well. I just find it easier to get at some of the options that are buried deep in submenus easier to find with the virtual ribbon. I also like the way the virtual ribbons put the different groups on the ribbon into submenus. It just works better for me. I switch interfaces at will.

Which is a fear of using the ribbon. There was allot of that when the ribbon first came out. The virtual ribbon creates a sort of XP menu style which is substituted for the ribbon itself. -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Paul Martz via Jfw Sent: Wednesday, May 13, 2015 10:17 AM To: 'The Jaws for Windows support list.' Cc: Paul Martz Subject: RE: Excel shortcut for autofit? Thanks, everyone. Now here's a slightly related question. MS has their own keyboard interface for the ribbon UI, as in "Alt then H, O, I". But you can also turn on the JAWS rinnon UI to make the ribbon feel more like a system of menus and submenus. I can see how both might be useful, but they seem to be mutually exclusive. When I turn on the JAWS ribbon UI, the MS ribbon keyboard inbterface seems to stop working. Does anyone know how to set up JAWS so that both the MS interface and the JAWS interface to the ribbon UI are available? Then I could choose to use one or the other interface, depending on which is most convenient, personal preference, etc. My guess is that this is simply not possible. I have to choose one or the other. -Paul _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com
