The introduction of Windows 7 has presented keyboard users with new challenges.  Features such as the library system of file management have changed keystrokes and the way different functions are accessed and used.  This resource package explains these changes and how you can customise features to suit your needs and maximise the potential of what this operating system can do for you. It comprises a valuable reference for assistive software users, particularly those grappling with the changes incorporated into the new versions of Windows and Microsoft Office.

More than simply a software manual, the package includes step by step instructions and practical exercises to help you learn shortcut keys to navigate around your desktop, use accessory applications and manage your files. Complete lists of all keystrokes for both JAWS and ZoomText users make the package an essential long term reference.

Specifically, the resource will enable you to:

• Understand the components of your computer and its operating system.
• Navigate efficiently around your desktop.
• Use the Notepad, WordPad and Calculator accessory applications.
• Manage your files via the Windows 7 file management system.
• Access system information and identify software application versions.
• Become familiar with and use different printers.
