[Ct-nfb] window 7?

Fri Jun 24 17:32:03 UTC 2011

I understood that Fredom Scientific  had a course going on for free  via 
the internet and ribbons had a class devoted to just that.  Check out  ttheir 
website for more info.

Hi, All,

If anyone has any pointers on how to use the  dreaded ribbons or can point 
be to a good tutorial on the subject, please let  me know. I miss the drop 
down menus. They were so easy and blind  friendly.

I can be reached off list at _dgodbey2 at optonline.net_

Thanks,

Debra Godbey

Hi,  I just got windows 7 last week. I also was nervous with the switchover 
but  have found that this computer has some great features and the new ones 
will  be learned, like the new ribbons. Beth

Hi,  Janet.  MS Office Professional does include Outlook but the format has 
 still changed.  I bought home and student version for my laptop and it  
had a three month trial.  I just started using Windows Live Mail and  although 
I like the older versions of Outlook, I can work this one and am  learning 
the finer points as time passes.

I have found this  discussion very interesting as I have been trying to 
figure out what to get  as I need a new computer. I was thinking of getting a 
refurbished XP but  have decided to go with what is out there now and XP 
won't be supported in a  few years. I know I'll probably be somewhat unhappy at 
first, but as others  have said, it takes getting used to and after a while 
it will feel more  normal. 

With regard to  e-mail, I believe Office 2010 includes Outlook or Outlook 
Express.

I  am using windows 7 and JAWS 12.  There is a little learning curve,  but 
I haven't run into any trouble.

Hello  Guys,

I  am wondering if any of you are using Windows 7?  If so, what are  the 
advantages for us blind users?  Any of you using WE7.5.1?   I'm just trying to 
kill two birds with one  stone.

Thanks,

Joe
