Hello,
I am facing some issues with tables in
Microsoft Word and NVDA. Following is the detailed
explanation:
Issue Description
When UI automation is on, NVDA does not
recognize tables in Microsoft Word, especially in browse mode.
As a result, I cannot use Easy Table Navigator addon to
navigate the table.
Steps to reproduce
- Open Microsoft Word document
which has tables.
- Turn on NVDA with UI automation
for Microsoft Word documents. One can set UI automation to
anything except ‘Default’.
- Try reading and navigating the
table in Word in browse mode of NVDA.
Expected Result
NVDA should recognize tables in both focus
as well as browse modes, and they should be navigable using
Easy Table Navigator addon.
Actual Result
NVDA does not recognize tables in word
documents when UI automation is turned on, especially in
browse mode.
Testing Environment
OS: Windows 11 Home Edition
Office Version: Microsoft Office 365
Enterprise (latest version)
Screen reader: NVDA 2022.1 RC2
Remarks
The same issue can be reproduced with NVDA
2021.3 and later. I use UI automation as I need to read and
write STEM content.
However, NVDA recognizes tables in the
focus mode even when UI automation is turned on and set as
‘Always’ in case of 2022.1 RC2. But in that case, I am unable
to use Easy Table Navigator addon to navigate the table, and
it is very hard to use Ctrl + Alt + arrow keys for a long
time.
With Best Regards,
Sanjog Kumawat
