[nabs-l] Microsoft publisher and word

[Anita Adkins]

Hi, I use Office 2007 with JAWS 10, and I have no trouble with Excel, 
PowerPoint or Word as those are the ones I use. If you press alt to get to 
the menu bar, you can left or right arrow until the menu name is spoken that 
you are desiring to reach. Then, treat it like a dialogue box, meaning tab 
through until you hear the choice you are looking for. Like already said, 
shortcut keys, including for previous versions, work as well. Anita
