Re: Change in CTRL+Backspace behavior in MS-Word, but not Notepad or Outlook

Hi, You can’t turn these off at the moment – I’ll introduce a quick workaround next week that will stop these announcements as part of Windows 10 App Essentials 20.03.1. Cheers, Joseph

Thanks. Just need to know how to turn off these notifications, and what wondering what other types of notifications I’ll be missing? Konnie

Hi, Ha, found the root cause: this is Word issue, not NVDA. In short, Word announces this, which NVDA picks up. The short-term solution is to block all sorts of announcements like this from Word, with the ideal solution being blocking only some messages. Technical: UIA notification event problem. I’ll comment on a potential fix on a GitHub issue Quentin has created. Cheers, Joseph

Lately, when I hit the control+backspace keys to delete a word, NVDA does not announce the word I am deleting. Instead, it says “delete back word.” I would much prefer that it says the word I am deleting, as it always has before. I have also since tested this in Notepad, and in Outlook. Both of those are acting normally. They do not say “delete back word.” If anyone can help me figure out how to set this back to normal in MS Word, please let me know. Thanks so much. Konnie Ellis
