Re: NVDA adding and changing settings
Chris Mullins
Hi I have been using screen readers for years, though not WindowEyes, and cannot remember a time when i relied on a “document saved” message appearing. When editing a document in Word or Notepad, Control+s is the shortcut to save your document without exiting from it. Using this shortcut implies that you want to save your document contents at that point. If you then use alt+f4 to close the document, it will close. If your document contains unsaved changes and you try to close it using Alt+f4, you will get a message asking if you want to save the document or not . At this point you have 3 choices: you can press the ‘Save’ button – saves the document and closes it You can press the ‘don’t Save’ button – Closes the document without saving it. ** You can press the ‘Cancel’ button – returns focus to the document which remains open.
** Word contains options to auto-save a document at timed intervals whilst editing. If this feature is active, when choosing not to save, you may get a further choice to disregard all changes or only those made since a particular auto-save point.
So, in a nutshell, if you want to be asked if you want to save or not, don’t bother with Control+s, just press alt+f4. If there are unsaved changes you will get the Save/Don’t Save dialog, if you haven’t changed anything the document will close.
Cheers Chris

Hi Arlene, Using Notepad in Win7 the control-s command saves my document. What I do not hear in NVDA is the question “do you want to save the document” and the statement “document saved.” I use Window-Eyes and it tells me what I want and like to hear! I was doing some editing earlier this evening using NVDA and found other differences on the QBraille display I use. If and when it becomes necessary to only use NVDA it will take some getting used to on my Win10 PC since it does not use Window-Eyes. There are days when Grandpa DOS wishes he could go back to DOS again! Thanks for your reply. Listening for His shout! Grant
