I've seen three reports now cumulatively on different lists that Windows 10 users aren't affected by the Wordpad problem.  One or two users have Windows 7 and Windows 10 computers and they have the problem on their Windows 7 machines after updating and not on their Windows 10 machines updating.  So Windows 10 users don't need to worry.

Hmm, for the record in 7 at least one can import the xp version of Wordpad
with its ordinary ribbons.
 It also seems to get around the apparent random format choices in save that
the newer version seems to exhibit, at least for myself.
 Thinks.. I wonder if this is in any way related to the some menues dont
work after running some software, issue I meantioned yesterday?

Subject: [nvda] Wordpad ribbons


I'm not sure which list it was on but the subject of ribbons came up in
Wordpad yesterday.  two people reported that they couldn't get the ribbons
to come up.  there was speculation as to the cause but now we know.  On
another list, the topic came up again tonight.  A list member reports that
his ribbons working properly in Windows 7.  He then installed the four
important updates Microsoft said should be installed and now they no longer
work.  So much for the wonders of forced updates in Windows 10.  this was in
Windows 7, as I said and we don't know if Windows 10 is affected.  But all
those who cannot defer updates may have this problem.  They can't be
deferred in Windows 10 home.

Yes, the find was causing me problems. 

However, I do have one more question now you asked.

When I am using google, when moving to the search edit field I press the letter f as with other screenreading programs.

Then when reaching “search landmark combo box editable” I hit enter, a short click signaling the edit field is opened.

Then I enter text and hit enter.

Next I press escape and a short beep is heard.  Pressing H will move me through the search results as should happen.  Is that the recommended way with NVDA?

Greeting NVDA wizards,

I am trying to write directions for some students on how to search a webpage for text.

I am using AFB.org site. I wish them to locate “access” that will land the cursor on “Access World Registered.” This is a magazine published by AFB which I am sure all of you have heard of.

However, When trying control-f, typing in the search and hitting enter. The cursor does not move anywhere.

I had heard this was going to be fixed in Version 17.1. Does anyone have a solution or work around?

Thanks in advance.

I have a spreadsheet composed of many sheets.

While editing the data, sometimes NVDA stops announcing anything in Calc, but continues to work in the other open applications.
The only way to force NVDA to speak again within Calc is restarting it.
I mentioned the existence of various sheets because this behavior do not exist in a spreadsheet with only one sheet.
Note that I myself and other people already mentioned this issue in this group.

Nasrin,

          As a matter of policy I never use anything but the latest versions of open source or free software such as LibreOffice, so I really can't advise regarding what earlier versions are like.   I personally would not use an earlier version unless the latest has somehow become broken from an accessibility standpoint, and that's not particularly likely.
