Hi Dan,

The change re backstage is in Office 2013 / 2016.  It might be in slightly different places in different office programs and versions, I'm using Word 2016:

1. In Word, Press ALT+F for the file menu.
2. Press T for options.
3. Press CONTROL+TAB three times to get to the "save" settings.
4. Press alt+s or tab until the focus is on "Don't show the backstage when opening or saving files".
5. Press spacebar to check or uncheck this option (checked = you will get the traditional file open / save dialog when you press control+o or control+s, unchecked = you get the new backstage pane).
6. Press ENTER to save the changes and close the dialog.  That should then work in the other office programs as well.

For your other question about add-ons, official NVDA add-ons are available from: https://addons.nvda-project.org/index.en.html  Once you download one, open the NVDA tools menu, press NVDA+N then t, then a to open the add-ons manager and you can install the add-on from there.

Kind regards

Quentin.

Yes your advice did help.  However, where do I go to make the change regarding backstage?

Thank you very much.

Hi Dan,

 

Welcome to the group!

 

Re "Line feed", what program are you in when it announces that?  For me, in most programs, it doesn't necessarily announce anything when I press ENTER, but as I left or right arrow through the text it announces line feed when it gets to where I pressed enter?  This is to indicate that it was a deliberate press of ENTER and not just reaching the right margin for instance.


You can set NVDA to "Speak command keys" by pressing NVDA+4 or from NVDA's keyboard preferences dialog.  This will announce "ENTER" when you press that key.  Note that it will also announce things like "CONTROL+RIGHT ARROW" as you move by word, "NVDA+END" before reading the status bar and so on.

 

Re saving files.  Again in word, if I press control+s, NVDA reads:

"ctrl+s

Save As  tab  selected  Save As  Alt, F, A  "  That is using the default setup of Word showing the "backstage".  If I set it up to go straight to the save as dialog (file - options - save then check "Don't show the backstage when opening or saving files".

 

If I have it set to go straight to the save as dialog, I get:

 

"ctrl+s

Save As  dialog  File name: File name:

Save as type: Save as type:

File name:  combo box  collapsed

edit  Alt+n

selected some filename.docx"

Which is exactly the same if I press f12.

 

In Wordpad, when I press control+s, I get:

 

"ctrl+s

Save As  dialog

File name:  combo box  collapsed

edit  Alt+n

selected Document.rtf

"

 

In Notepad I get:

 

"ctrl+s

Save As  dialog  File name: File name:

Save as type: Save as type:

File name:  combo box  collapsed

edit  Alt+n

selected *.txt"

 

 

Not sure if that helps though?

 

Regards


Quentin.

                First I am very greatful for this list and all the work developers have put into NVDA.

Q1. Instead of announcing “line feed”, Is it possible to cause NVDA to announce new line or blank when pressing enter to move to a new line?

 

Q2.  Recently NVDA in my class room will not say “file name” when pressing control + s when saving  file for the first time.

NVDA will not say “save as” when pressing f12.

 

When we press control + c or control + v, NVDA  does not announce,

“copy” or “paste.” Is there some setting that is not correct?

Thanks for reading this long email and thanks in advance for your assistance.
