Re: NVDA works slowly in excel 2016

Well did that and it has improved the performance  however   The issue of nvda reading behind the selection still persists.

 

But not Shure that this is an excel problem, as it does the same in Gmail, and other applications.

 

so, when you arrow down NVDA reads the line before the line which you are on.


but for anyone looking for how to do it here is a quick guide.

How to Disable Live Preview in Excel

 
The live preview in Excel shows how a feature affects the document as you hover over different choices. For example, when hovering over different types of charts, the selected data will demo different charts. To disable the Live Preview, please following the steps below:

press alt tap f then tap t

Uncheck "Enable Live Preview" in the options dialog box

I don't know where it is in 2016, but I found I had to take Excel out
of Live Preview mode in order for it to work, just in case that is of
interest to some. Again, because of the version hell that is Excel &
MS products in general, I can't tell you specifically where that's
located, but check options, particularly under the view tab, though
again, it may be elsewhere. It made Excel usable again for me, whereas
before it wasn't.
