[nabs-l] windows accessibility

[bookwormahb at earthlink.net]

Hi,
Where is the virtual ribbobn feature?
I checked out the ribbon setup in word and other applications.  There are two ribbons in the word processor if I see it right.  Jaws says there's an upper ribbon and lower ribbbon.  It seems that the lower ribbon gives you all the buttons with options, options that would have been in a menu in 2003 versions.
To select an option as I arrow to it, I think I press enter.  So when I hear "bullets" for instance I enter and arrow down to review the options under that option.  That is how I understand the ribbon bar thing.
Ms word gives eight tabs in the upper ribbon.
