[nabs-l] Microsoft publisher and word

[Katie Wang]

Hi, Ashley,
  I recently upgraded to MS Office 2007 and Jaws 12, and so far things
are working well. Most of the keyboard shortcuts stay the same, and as
has already been mentioned the Virtual Menu feature makes the ribbons
behave just like traditional menus. You use Alt to get to the ribbons
and move around using arrow keys; the only catch is that you have to
press Alt again to return to the document instead of pressing Escape.
I have heard about some accessibility challenges with earlier versions
of JAWS though so if that's what you have you may want to double-check
before you upgrade. Hope this helps!
   Katie
