[Ct-nfb] window 7?

Fri Jun 24 19:14:42 UTC 2011

Hi Beth,

Here is a link for people to check out.  The first one below is the free
training Freedom Scientific has conducted in the past.  

http://www.freedomscientific.com/training/Free-Webinars.asp#FreeArchive

For anyone who has a copy of JAWS 12, all of the training items are on the
JAWS DVD and can be installed onto the user's computer.  Within the basic
training found on this DVD is a lesson on using the virtual ribbons.
Virtual Ribbons are only used in JAWS 12.  They make it easier to navigate
the ribbons with JAWS.  

Here is a link to a  place where people can get the basic training for JAWS
if they don't have a JAWS DVD.

I hope this helps.

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
