Joel,

Clarence works for GW Micro, the developers of Window-Eyes, so he is not going to be in a position to comment on JFW's readiness for Office 2007.  However, you 
can run Window-Eyes and JFW on the same machine, although one probably should not do it at the same time.  Therefore, you could download the Window-Eyes 
beta and the Office beta to see how they work.  My understanding is that JFW is not as ready for Office 2007 as is Window-Eyes, but that is only based upon 
hearsay on my part.  JFW will support it eventually, I would guess, but you would want to know for certain to what degree before going to the trouble of getting the 
Office beta.
