Hi Tom, The notes below are for running Jaws with the Virtual Ribbons turned off. It sounds like you might have minimized the ribbons.
To navigate ribbons more efficiently the ribbons need to be maximized. The keystroke is, control + F1. This keystroke is a toggle so, this keystroke will maximize & minimize. To check if the ribbons are minimized / maximized do the following: 1. Press the, Alt key, to open the ribbons. 2. Open the context menu with either the application key or, shift + F10. 3. Arrow up or down to the, Minimize, option. If, Minimize, is checked, the ribbons are minimized Pressing, enter, on this checkbox, will uncheck it & close the context menu & your menues will now be maximized. HTH Take care.
