Thanks, Rod -----Original Message----- From: Talk [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tom Kingston via Talk Sent: March 18, 2016 12:04 PM To: Steve Jacobson <[email protected]>; Window-Eyes Discussion List <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Problem with reading MS Word 2007 documents from dropbox I've always used the Window-Eyes Insert-S, select Dropbox, and Alt-R to open the context menu. However it is a little strange in that when I do so it says "press enter to open the Dropbox menu." But obviously it's not a big deal. hth, Tom On 3/18/2016 10:28 AM, Steve Jacobson via Talk wrote: > Richard, > > Unfortunately, there are variations in the Dropbox interface that were > dependent upon the version.
