Have you got tool tips on?

I have noticed that this is flaky when on, ie sometimes they are not spoken, sometimes they are not just for word but even in explorer. I have to say I have developed selective hearing and move on when I get too much tagged on the end. It can also be irritating when, say in a file list, an entry is spoken then spoken a second time with more details, presumably from the tooltip. Brian bglists@... Sent via blueyonder.

Alt, H, 1 Ctrl+B Font tool bar Italic button Ctrl+I; Alt, H, 2 Home grouping Font grouping Italic toggle button not pressed Italicize your text. Alt, H, 2 Ctrl+I Font tool bar Underline grouping Alt, H, 3 Home grouping Font grouping Underline split button collapsed Underline your text. Alt, H, 3 Font tool bar Strikethrough button Alt, H, 4 Home grouping Font grouping Strikethrough toggle button not pressed Cross something out by drawing a line through it. Alt, H, 4 Font tool bar Subscript button Ctrl+=; Alt, H, 5 Home grouping Font grouping Subscript toggle button not pressed Type very small letters just below the line of text. Alt, H, 5 Ctrl+= If I re-start NVDA and tab through the same set of formatting options (without re-opening the Word doc) it is not as vocal, which I much prefer ... it now says: Clear Formatting button Remove all formatting from the selection, leaving only the normal, unformatted text. Alt, H, E Bold toggle button pressed Make your text bold. Alt, H, 1 Ctrl+B Italic toggle button not pressed Italicize your text. Alt, H, 2 Ctrl+I Underline split button collapsed Underline your text. Alt, H, 3 Strikethrough toggle button not pressed Cross something out by drawing a line through it. Alt, H, 4 Subscript toggle button not pressed Type very small letters just below the line of text. Alt, H, 5 Ctrl+= Superscript toggle button not pressed Type very small letters just above the line of text. Alt, H, 6 Ctrl+Shift++ Can anyone explain why I experience this? I presume it's not something in the NVDA settings since otherwise re-starting NVDA presumably wouldn't have any effect. I'm happy with the “Make your text bold. Alt, H, 1 Ctrl+B” part, it's just the repetition of which ribbon or ribbon group I'm in that drives me nuts! I'm using the speech viewer to record what NVDA is saying in both cases. Thanks :) Giles
