[nfbcs] {Spam?} Re: Outlook 2010 Conundrums

I used the beta of Office ten and liked it. My biggest concern has been trying to get 2003 to let me configure Outlook since I also only own 2003. I want to move to 2010 but hate to put new software on an old computer.

I do prefer Access 2003 but will figure out the new versions.

Greetings --
I have not yet moved to office7, but do have a windows7 laptop.  I have been 
considering getting office7 or later but I still have my old installation 
CDs for Office 2003.
The thing that keeps me from installing 2003 on my new machine is that I 
signed up for an online class last year and read the little blurb about 
required software and course expectations.  Turns out that the university 
requires Office7 and a particular document format and quoting conventions 
etc.  I actually read the whole document in detail, and concluded that if I 
was going to take classes online at all, I should drop office2003 and stick 
with office7.
I am only writing this to warn you that sometimes old software, no matter 
how convenient and robust, will separate you from doing some things you want 
to do because the new software provides some features.

Office7 is accessible, more or less, isn't it?
It has been out for a long time now and the screen reader vendors and 
Microsoft all have had plenty of time to adapt for accessibility.

Happy reading.
