Kelvin,
I have downloaded Window Eyes and it works with everything I have tried not
just Office programs.  Being a Jaws user and trying to find corresponding
key strokes is what I am working  on (Old dog new tricks). Looking at the
manual should help LOL.
From what I have read it is a full version with some limitations  on
Technical Support. The GW Micro Website  has a FAQ section about this offer.

I now have JAWS, NVDA and Window Eyes.

Hi All,

I hadn't quite appreciated the scope of the offer when it was made = earlier
this week, but GWMicro and Microsoft have announced that the Window-Eyes
screen reader is now free for anyone with a copy of MS Office 10 or =
greater.
I initially thought Window-Eyes would just work with Office, but it = looks
like you get the complete package.

OK, you have to have a fairly new copy of Office, but it seems to me = that
is an unbelievable offer.  Many of us use multiple screen readers to =
perform different tasks, and Window-Eyes is an incredibly powerful tool to
have = in the toolbox! =20

It would also appear that future Window-Eyes updates will be free to =
Office
10 users too.  The offer appears to exclude the Office starter pack, and =
as the Home and Student copy of Office 10 can be bought on Amazon for about
=
=A360
or $100, I'm honestly not sure if this would qualify for a free copy of
Window-Eyes...  I suspect not, as the usual price in the UK is over =
=A3500, for the screen reader alone...

Hopefully someone will know more...

Best wishes, Kelvin Marsh - M0AID
