7.1 RIBBON KEYSTROKES FOR OFFICE 7 AND
LATER
THESE KEYSTROKES CAN BE USED WITH
THUNDER.
Minimize or restore the ribbon: CTRL F1.
Display the shortcut menu for the selected item: SHIFT F10.
Move the focus to toggle between the active choice of the ribbon, your document,
the task pane or View the status bar at the bottom of
the window: F6.
Pressing F6 is a most useful key for screenreader users wanting information about
the task being performed: e.g. page number, getting to help topics etc.
Move the focus to each command in the ribbon, forward or backward: ALT or F10, and
then TAB or SHIFT TAB.
Move down, up, left, or right among the items in the ribbon: ARROW DOWN, UP, LEFT,

Activate your choice in the ribbon: SPACEBAR or
ENTER.
Open your menu choice in the ribbon: SPACEBAR or ENTER.
To get to help with the ribbon, press F1 and Thunder will say "Outlook Help" or
"Word Help", whichever program you are in. TAB twice and type in the words for the help you are looking for. Press
ENTER and TAB quite a few times until you are amongst links which are meaningful to you. Press ENTER on the one you
want and read down the results using the mouse keys, 2 (down a line) or 8 (up a line). Press Alt F4 to close the
Help program.
