[nabs-l] accessibility of ms word 2007

[sarah.jevnikar at utoronto.ca]

Hi Ashley,
I have no idea what they were thinking with MS 2007; it is certainly  
strange. Luckily many of the short-cut keys work, such as alt t for  
tools, and w for word count. I shudder to think what Excel is like if  
word is so non-JAWS friendly. ...
May the force be with you :)
