If you can then I would suggest you practise learning theribbon with JAWS asit goves more feedback as to where you are on the ribbon than any other Screen Reader I've used.
Now someone may correct me here if I'm slightly out but theconcept of the ribbon is simple enough, you have an upper ribbon of tabs and drop-down menus etc, using the cursor keys moves you along the ribbon whilst other keys - depending on the type of ribbon item you've moved to - take you to the lower ribbon portion, JAWS tells you exactly where you are so you don't get confused and - if you're using the ribbon for the first time - it can get a little confusing particularly if you don't have feedback as to where you are. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gordon Smith Sent: Monday, 22 April 2013 11:21 AM To: Windows Access; Share Your Enthusiasm! Subject: Re: Outlook 2010 I'm still not totally sure how the ribbon works with screen-readers actually but I'm now going to have to learn pretty darn quickly as I start work at the academy later today. That is why I am up, very restless.
