Tom,

Aside from the fact that the menus in Office 2007 are quite different from 
those in Office 2003, are there things JAWS won't read?  Regardless of that, 
if you're not prepared to deal with the differences, I'd advise going back 
to 2003.  Doing so will probably preserve some small portion of your sanity, 
which might otherwise be lost.

Steve
