As you are no doubt aware, Office 2007 is different because it has been
totally redesigned to be more intuitive with a ribbon replacing the old
menu structure. While this is an exciting development for most of us it
can be confusing for those with visual impairments who have learned
keyboard shortcuts and are now wondering if they have to re-learn a new
set of commands. Eileen Brown's blog post links to some useful answers
and tutorials that will help your visually impaired students and
colleagues.
