Hi Gene

Use screen layout does not work in microsoft edge here I am using windows 10 version 1809 but does on other browsers if needed. I always have mine turned off.

The other way i would do it is either the elements list which works in the edge browser or maybe use the find command. I will make edge teh default browser and see if i can get it to do the same.

That is a setting I recommend against using unless you are working with specific kinds of sites such as message boards.  I consider it to generally be desirable to have each link on a separate page, in other words, having use screen layout turned off.  There are all sorts of ways to get to the link such as tabbing or shift tabbing, but being on the link is not the problem.  the original message says that Max can see the text change but the screen-reader keeps reading the table of contents.  the link has been activated.  It appears that the problem is how the Edge browser works with this page.  So if that is the case, people can use my method or they can use a different browser.

Hi

Try the following in the browser when in focus and you know you are in the page.

The shortcut is nvda key + letter V

It will say some thing like use screen layout off this is what you want and will put the link on the same line as the text.

There is also a settings under the browse mode settings where this can be done either checked for on or unchecked for off.

See if that  does it.

Hi All.

 

It appears this list is not like some others I was on briefly.  I haven’t been flamed for asking a stupid question or been told to go look it up.

 

Here is my problem.  When I select help from the NVDA menu and then user guide my browser opens and I am on the table of contents. Then I down arrow to 5 navigating with NVDA.  When I press enter or space bar nothing happens.  I have to scroll the screen and click the mouse.  But that’s not all.  I can see that the screen changes but NVDA continues reading the table of contents.  I printed out the entire user guide and put it under my CCTV reader but that takes a lot of time.  I have tried the NVDA key + numpad keys and I can move to the desk top and back to the table of contents but I haven’t figured out how to move to the page which is displayed.  This effects other sites as well but this seems like the best example.  I am using windows 10 and Microsoft edge which should be the latest versions because automatic update is turned on.  Can someone get me out of this catch 22 situation.

Hi Max,

 

Welcome to the group.  If you can describe the problem you are having clearly, you will normally get a pretty helpful response from everyone here in the group.

 

Do you have a particular question now?  You mentioned seeing what kind of response this question got but I can't see one there.

 

Regards

 

Quentin.
