Kimber, I never understood that feature before, so thanks for mentioning it. For anyone interested, it's in the JAWS context menu, which I get to with JAWS key+j. Press enter on "options" and again on "basics," and tab to "access keys." Arrow up or down through four options. I believe "all" is the default, only because I never tinkered with this setting and "all" was selected.

Cc: Kimber Gardner Subject: Re: keystrokes vs virtual ribbons Hi Pablo, If you set your jaws announcements to speak access keys (I think?), then jaws will tell you the keystrokes as you tab through the ribbons without turning on virtual ribbons. I have an Excel spreadsheet that lists all the various ribbon commands and associated shortcuts/keystrokes. Yes, I am a little type A that way. <g> I'd be glad to share this document with you if you'd like. I don't use Excel enough to have a similar list, but I may get around to making one up one of these days.
