(Getting Started Working with Documents )
Menus
When you begin to explore Word 2007 you will notice a new look to the menu
bar. There are three features that you should remember as you work within
Word 2007:
*. the Microsoft Office Button,
*. the Quick Access Toolbar,
*. the Ribbon.
These three features contain many of the functions that were in the menu of
previous versions of Word. The functions of these three features will be
more fully explored below.
*. The Microsoft Office Button
Access Key: "alt + F"
The Microsoft Office button performs many of the functions that were located
in the File menu of older versions of Word. This button allows you to create
a new document, open an existing document, save or save as, print, send
(through email or fax), publish or close.
*. The Ribbon
The Ribbon is the panel at the top portion of the document. It has seven
tabs: Home, Insert, Page Layout, References, Mailings, Review, and View that
contain many new and existing features of Word. Each tab is divided into
groups. The groups are logical collections of features designed to perform
functions that you will utilize in developing or editing your Word document.
Commonly used features are displayed on the Ribbon, to view additional
features within each group, Magnification users, click on the arrow at the
bottom right of each group.
Screen Reader Users such as those using jaws can read the following article
from the Freedom Scientific training department:
The Ribbon is a new style of menu available in many new applications being
released today. Ribbons first appeared in Office 2007 programs, but are now
becoming more common in other applications tailored for the Windows 7
operating system. Ribbons create an accessibility challenge due to
inconsistent navigation between various groups and items. For example, when
you enter the Lower Ribbon and press the ARROW keys to move between items in
a group, you can skip items and unexpectedly move into another group.
Pressing TAB gives no indication that you have left one group and entered
another. Using first letter navigation to find items can be difficult and
frustrating. Finally, because of a group's layout, you do not know if you
should navigate up, down, left, or right to select an item.
The article goes on to discuss the new "Virtual Ribbon" which is in jaws 12
but as this feature is not available in earlier editions of jaws, jaws 11
would be the oldest version of jaws required to use this ribbon. If using
jaws 11 you would have to use the ribbon in the traditional manner.
The new Virtual Ribbon Menu provides predictable navigation, lets you see
everything in the Ribbon, and offers consistency when navigating with ARROW
keys. For example, the ARROW and TAB keys move focus from the Upper Ribbon
tabs to the Lower Ribbon groups. Once in a group, the ARROW, TAB, and
SHIFT+TAB keys move through all items in a group, move from one group to the
next, and wrap to the beginning of the Ribbon. For submenus, SPACEBAR and
ENTER expands menus, and ESC collapses menus. The Virtual Ribbon Menu is off
by default and can be switched on or off from within Settings Center or the
JAWS Startup Wizard. When the Virtual Ribbon Menu is on, the Ribbon is
navigated using a traditional menu and submenu format familiar to most JAWS
users.
The traditional Ribbon:
Each of the tabs contains the following tools:
*. Home:
Clipboard,
Fonts,
Paragraph,
Styles,
Editing.
*. Insert:
Pages,
Tables,
Illustrations,
Links,
Header & Footer,
Text,
Symbols
*. Page Layout:
Themes,
Page Setup,
Page Background,
Paragraph,
Arrange
*. References:
Table of Contents,
Footnote,
Citation & Bibliography,
Captions,
Index,
Table of Authorities
*. Mailings:
Create,
Start Mail Merge,
Write & Insert Fields,
Preview Results,
*. Review:
Proofing,
Comments,
Tracking,
Changes,
Compare,
Protect
*. View:
Document Views,
Show/Hide,
Zoom,
Window,
Macros
Working with the traditional ribbon:
1. Press the left alt key to jump onto the ribbon.
2. Use left and right arrow keys to move between tabs.
3. Use "control + tab" to move into the sub-section of a tab group.
4. Use arrow keys with control key to move around within that tabs
choices.
Notes: As you move around the choices, listen for the shortcut key letters
which are announced everytime you move to an object within the tab group.
Example Exercise:
To adjust the default font and point size in Word 2007 or 2010:
Press ALT+H to move to the Home tab of the ribbon.
Press letter F followed by letter N to open the Font dialog box.
Press UP or DOWN ARROW to move through the font list to find Arial
or another non-serif font.
Press TAB twice to move to the size edit combo box and choose 14
point.
Press ALT+D to activate the "default" button. A dialog box appears
asking if you want to change the default font. Answer Yes, and the dialog
box closes with the changes now saved as the default.
Quick Access Toolbar
The quick access toolbar is a customizable toolbar that contains commands
that you may want to use. You can place the quick access toolbar above or
below the ribbon. To change the location of the quick access toolbar, click
on the arrow at the end of the toolbar and click on Show Below the Ribbon.
Alternatively, use the left alt key to go to the ribbion menu then while on
the home tab, press left arrow once to hear "file". Here press keys, shift +
F10 to open a context menu and here you can choose where to have the qat
located.
You can also add items to the quick access toolbar. Right click on any item
in the Office Button or the Ribbon and click on Add to Quick Access Toolbar
and a shortcut will be added to the Quick Access Toolbar.
Using the left alt key, go onto the ribbon. Choose which tab the item you
want to add to the qat is located. Highlight the item and press shift + F10
then enter key on "add to quick access toolbar"
