[nabs-l] Microsoft publisher and word

[Ashley Bramlett]

Katie,
Thanks; I am using jaws 12.  That's good to know most shortcuts work.  I use 
mostly skey commands rather than the menus anyway.  I use f12 for save as; f 
7 for spell check, etc.
Glad to know its not problematic.
What does the virtual menu feature do and how do I access it?

Thanks.
Ashley
