[nfbcs] Getting Rid of the Ribbon or Alternative to Microsoft Office

[David Andrews]

I don't have specific info, just a couple suggestions.  If you are a 
JAWS user, there is the JAWS Virtual ribbon.  It makes the ribbon 
behave much like the older pull-down menus.

When the ribbon came out, there were several office add-ons that 
restored the classic menus.  I don't know how well they worked, or 
how accessible they are, but some Googling is probably in order.
