Hi.

Even if it will work with a plug in, do you really think that all of his 
students are going to get the plug in?  For that matter, they could save 
their stuff as Rich text, and then you could open it on anything, but you 
probably couldn't get half of them to save it that way...

This is not an unprecedented problem, either.  While mostly compatible, we 
definitely did run into some minor compatibility issues between Office 2003 
and Office 2000 at my workplace.

My guess is that you are going to have to do some reading about how to use 
Office 2007 from the keyboard.  I don't know if Freedom Scientific has much 
material on using Office 2007 yet.  They may, because I haven't looked for 
it yet.  One sneaky way to do it would be to look through the stuff on MS 
Word in GW Micro's materials, and by sorting out the Word commands from the 
Window-Eyes commands, you might be able to figure out how the thing 
works.  I suspect that in six months, Office 2007 won't seem any worse than 
Office 2003 does now.  It's probably just a matter of learning a new set of 
techniques.
