Hi Ana

The Office 2003 shortcuts still work in Office 2007. So in Word 2007, 
if one is dealing with font stuff, one can do

Alt o
f

Takes one to the font selection

One can tab through several combo boxes and check boxes

I see one for all caps but not one for lower case though. If you 
highlight text and then check the All Caps, the font turns to all caps; 
if you then uncheck that box with the text highlighted, my test text 
went back to mixed case.


No tips about changing the indent though.

Subject: [VICUG-L] Speaking of Ribbons

How does one efficiently navigate the Windows ribbons. I'm using Office 
2007 on XP with Jaws 11.
 
I find the ribbon annoying because, if I don't remember the shortcut 
letter sequence, I often have to tab through lots and lots to get to 
what I'm searching for. For example, if I'm trying to change case, I 
need to tab through half a dozen font options (italic, bold, 
strikethrough, etc) to get there, and if I'm looking for 
increase/decrease indent, I need to go through all those font options 
and more on increasing and decreasing size.
 
Is there a way to, say, skip past all the font related items to 
something else. I suspect that the font items are grouped together 
visually so the eye can jump to something else, but I haven't figured 
out how to find something without going through every unrelated item in 
the ribbon between me and it.
