Learning Windows 7 with Window eyes 7.2Date:

Hi,
I am not going to complain about how much I don't like Windows 7. I am not
going to mention how productive I have become with XP and Office '03. I'm
just going to say I've made a commitment to spend at least two hours a day
on the Windows 7 notebook the boss gave me and somehow get around the curve.
I am making some progress. Seems like the more I learn though, the more I
am amazed someone somewhere called this new O/S more intuitive. But I'm not
going to go there. Instead I'll ask my question for the day by comparing
how I did the task in XP and look for pointers on how to do the same thing
in7.
The Open and Save dialogs.
In XP in an Open or Save dialog, I would first press alt plus I to place
focus on the Look In field, or Save In field as the case may be. Then I
could down and up arrow to find the desired root location. Tab once took me
to a row of handy buttons. Tab again took me to another row of handy
buttons. Tab a third time took me to a folder/file list where I could drill
down to where I wanted to go, find a file to open or tab again to a filename
filed and name a file .
When I press alt plus I in a Windows 7 Open or Save dialog I get an error
beep. I tab around, but never hear anything about a Look In or Save In.
Tips, and suggestions on recommended reading are humbly requested.
Sincerely,
Donald E. Bowen, Jr.
