[JAWS-Users] Re: Jaws and Microsoft Word 2007
Hi Devona, I paid for it, but when I couldn't use it, I returned it, or rather, my brother re-sold it with a new system he sold a couple of weeks later. Since the person who bought the computer from us was sighted, they didn't mind using 2007, and since I sold it to him at a major discount, he was even happier. I was just happy it wasn't a total loss and managed to salvage something out of it.

Lisa; try downloading the very latest version of JAWS as a demo and install it, you can obviously try that to see how it works but then if you go back to running the old version of JAWS it should have updated stuff like the video intercept sufficiently to do the job.

I was running Jaws 7 with Xp home, and installed Office 2007 as an upgrade to my 2003. If you think the menu items are screwed up, you ought to see how it displays an already modified document. According to my brother, 2007 displays almost like Internet Explorer 7, with tabs and the like to navigate between multiple documents. If you use the classic shortcut keys, such as alt-F or alt-T or other shortcut keys that you use to access the old menu bars, you'll find that they do work, however, they open a new set of menus. The menus, as you've already heard, have been completely re-designed and are called a ribbon, or an information ribbon, so some such name like that. In any case, when I opened an already modified document, such as a user's manual for my MP3 player, it displayed the multiple pages side by side, and when I used the arrow keys to go through the document, it would read the information on both sides of the window. So, if the first line on page 1 was hello, and the first line on page 2 was goodbye, when I got there with the arrow, Jaws would read it as hello goodbye. Very confusing if you don't know what you're reading. As I had already read the particular user's manual I opened, I knew what the first page should say, and was confused when Jaws read something from page two. In any case, as was stated on another response to your question, you'll have to upgrade to Jaws 8 to use Office 2007, or just keep trying to make the current version of Jaws you have work with it. I wasn't able to do this and had to uninstall 2007 and go back to 2003. Unfortunately, I didn't have any time to play around with it as I needed MS Word for work I was doing at the time, but if I had had more time, I would have played around with it and tried to see if I could make it work with earlier versions of Jaws. The good news is that Office 2003 is very compatible with Jaws 8 and lower, and I have had no problems using it. In fact, I think you'll enjoy using it more than HJ Pad, and even more than Office 2007. I mean, comparing HJ Pad to Office 2003 is like comparing a farm wagon to a Rolls Royce, the two are miles apart from each other in terms of what you can do, but if you just want to write letters and the like, farm wagons aren't that bad as letter writing goes, but if you can afford it, I would definitely go for the Rolls Royce.

[JAWS-Users] Re: Jaws and Microsoft Word 2007
Very Well said Victor. I couldn't have but it any better. However, if you want to drive a vW Bug instead of the farm cart, try word pad. Kerry _ From: jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Victor Gouveia Sent: Sunday, March 11, 2007 8:30 PM To: jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Re: Jaws and Microsoft Word 2007 Hi Lisa, I have a similar problem, or at least, I had a similar problem as you. I was running Jaws 7 with Xp home, and installed Office 2007 as an upgrade to my 2003. If you think the menu items are screwed up, you ought to see how it displays an already modified document. According to my brother, 2007 displays almost like Internet Explorer 7, with tabs and the like to navigate between multiple documents. If you use the classic shortcut keys, such as alt-F or alt-T or other shortcut keys that you use to access the old menu bars, you'll find that they do work, however, they open a new set of menus. The menus, as you've already heard, have been completely re-designed and are called a ribbon, or an information ribbon, so some such name like that. In any case, when I opened an already modified document, such as a user's manual for my MP3 player, it displayed the multiple pages side by side, and when I used the arrow keys to go through the document, it would read the information on both sides of the window. So, if the first line on page 1 was hello, and the first line on page 2 was goodbye, when I got there with the arrow, Jaws would read it as hello goodbye. Very confusing if you don't know what you're reading. As I had already read the particular user's manual I opened, I knew what the first page should say, and was confused when Jaws read something from page two. In any case, as was stated on another response to your question, you'll have to upgrade to Jaws 8 to use Office 2007, or just keep trying to make the current version of Jaws you have work with it. I wasn't able to do this and had to uninstall 2007 and go back to 2003. Unfortunately, I didn't have any time to play around with it as I needed MS Word for work I was doing at the time, but if I had had more time, I would have played around with it and tried to see if I could make it work with earlier versions of Jaws. The good news is that Office 2003 is very compatible with Jaws 8 and lower, and I have had no problems using it. In fact, I think you'll enjoy using it more than HJ Pad, and even more than Office 2007. I mean, comparing HJ Pad to Office 2003 is like comparing a farm wagon to a Rolls Royce, the two are miles apart from each other in terms of what you can do, but if you just want to write letters and the like, farm wagons aren't that bad as letter writing goes, but if you can afford it, I would definitely go for the Rolls Royce.
