Has a ticket been raised on this point. it is certainly true that long
documents in word are slow to edit at times in all versions of word.
Whether this issue to the method that nvda uses to hook into word or some
other thing I do not know and as I do not use long files very often, I can
live with it. Perhaps this came in when the browse and focus mode ways
of accessing the screen were put in? Has anyone tried an nvda version
before this to see if its any faster. It just occurred to me that creating
a virtual version of the file is a bit like having two versions open at
the same time and as nvda is 32 bit and a lot of machines are now 64 bit a
bit of a bottleneck might be produced here.

hi,
This problem has existed at least since last year. Unfortunatly no
concrete action was taken to fix or determine the cause of it.

Hello everyone,
i am a frequent user of NVDA because my first screenreader is Jaws. I am
willing to switch to NVDA, but there are some barriers which prevent me
to come to NVDA family. My main problem starts with microsoft word. NvDA
is very slow when reading text, and when reading books which go up to
200 pages, it is unacceptable to use it. Long documents or books are
very common at university, so I can't avoid them by any means. I also
tried using libra office, but things grew even worse. I opened a 300
page book with that program and both NVDA and libra office crashed
desperately. I installed microsoft office 2013 and the performance
improved a bit, but still it is too slow compared to jaws. by the way,
I'm not making comperisons here, I just want to have NVDA working better
with word.
so, if there's anyone who could help me with this problem, I would be
very grateful and it would be highly appreciated.
sincerely,
Afrim.

Re: enhancing microsoft word:

hello.
i tested both libreoffice and open office and read many online
materials and documentations about them.
it depend on your need that which one you select.
but i mentione for you sometechnical points that i know andare
prominent for me.
1/ libreoffice is fortunately more independent and less need for java.
but open office is more relies on java.
for example: libreoffice only needs java for macros, data base etc.
but open office needs java for macros, data base, saving to xml and
some vizard like letter, fax, agenda and web page.
libreoffice saves inboth microsoft office 2003 and new office formats
like: doc, ppt, docx, pptx etc.
but open office only saves in microsoft office 2003 formats.
2/ libreoffice supports word count and character count in all of the
format which support in its version before version 5.
but in version 5.0 and later, it only supports word and character
count only for its special format which is .odt.
open office does not have this option.
and word-character format is special feature of libreoffice.
3/ both programs support many formats for openning and range of
libreoffice formats is more wide.
for example: libreoffice even supports many formats of mac for openning.
4/ libreoffice in version 4.3 shows its messages very accessible by
tab key and you can easily press tab and with using home to go to
first character and pressing control shift end, you can select it,
copy it and peist in other place.
but unfortunately the messages are not accessible easily in other
programs and you should nvda screen review and other nvda cursors to
access it.
5/ libreoffice has somecloud online services and open office does not have.
for example: google drive, one drive, sharepoint, etc.
6/ libreoffice since version 4.4 has an option for openGL and open
office does not have.
its very strungly recommended to deactivate it, in libreoffice tools,
options, libreoffice, view.
7/ say all does not work in both libreoffice and open office and you
should read your documents paragraph by paragraph.
8/ somesaid that open office is more stable and libreoffice has more
features that open office has not.
9/ open office translated to limited languages and you can select and
install only your own language.
but libreoffice is translated to more than 110 languages and when you
install it, it recognizes your locale language in your windows.
it installs only english and your local language.
10/ libreoffice help file should be installed separately.
but open office help is installed by default.
11/ if you want more information, you have refer to this link for
example, and also email me.

You can use an older version of Firefox portable on sites where you want to use Webvisum and the current version of Firefox everywhere else. 
 
If you use a lot of sites that require Webvisum, it may be more security risk than you want to take.  If, like many people, you don't use a lot of such sites, you may consider the security risk of using an older browser on a small number of sites to be worth taking.

That trick only works for version 43. After that, there is nothing at all

Hi Gene,
Thanks a lot. I did not think of that. I will download a portable version of Firefox, because I hardly want to solve a Captscha. I need to seddle down. It has been a crazy weekend, and I am getting too bold for my own good on lists today.

Re: suggestion: giving google chrome a try Performance degradation in current Firefox

You can use an older version of Firefox portable on sites where you want to use Webvisum and the current version of Firefox everywhere else. 
 
If you use a lot of sites that require Webvisum, it may be more security risk than you want to take.  If, like many people, you don't use a lot of such sites, you may consider the security risk of using an older browser on a small number of sites to be worth taking.

You can do absolutely nothing to get web visum to work after Firefox 43.
That trick only works for version 43. After that, there is nothing at all
one can do to get web visum to work in Firefox. Web Visum is gone, so we
need to figure out something else Lol!

Re: addressing emails in Thunderbird in NVDA

Ron Canazzi
 

Hi Dan,

What I do is to put the addresses in my address book and then open the address book and use the classic mark move and select keystrokes (control + shift to move and space bar) to select addresses. Another way is once you have the addresses in your address book, make sure the address bar is shown in your view and layout settings in Thunderbird settings and then open a new message and back tab till you see the list of addresses. Then use the associated key strokes as you move up/down the list alt + A for To field, alt + C for CC field and Alt + B for BCC fields. Then tab to the subject and body and follow normal procedures.

Hi,

I read the help page about this and it said to press enter after each address I entered in the to: field. However, when I try to send the email it comes back with an error and has all the email addresses as one long string instead of using it as individual addresses.

How do I address an email to multiple people using NVDA? I realize this may not be an NVDA issue but I am hoping there is some trick to doing this in NVDA.

Thanks.

Performance degradation in current Firefox

Unfortunately, Chrome accessibility has a bit of a ways to go. I
wish it didn't. I wish I could reliably use Chrome without the
strangeness that persists, but I can't. With Canary, some menu
items are not read out by NVDA, but are by Chromevox. Others are
read out by NVDA and not by Chromevox. I don't want two screen
reading packages running. When navigating the web and going to a
new web page, I seem to have to push tab after a new page loads,
otherwise NVDA doesn't seem to see the content on the page. When
doing a search on the Google page and when navigating around
Chrome in general, pressing H to navigate by heading only works
sometimes, but sometimes locks up until I again press tab to
force it to get back to the content. The sign-in process in
Chrome does not work with NVDA. I needed to use Window-eyes to
get it to read the content. JAWS was also unable to read it. And
I will post another thread about this, but Hangouts doesn't work
very well. the Hangouts app seems to be totally inaccessible to
next branches of NVDA and Canary. And the keyboard shortcuts
that Google outlines in their manual at
https://support.google.com/hangouts/answer/3112005?rd=1 don't
work when navigating to hangouts.google.com
<http://hangouts.google.com>;, and the article doesn't specify
where exactly these shortcuts are supposed to work. Actually
many hotkeys that Google outlines interfere with
browser-specific hotkeys. So I would be happy to transition to
using Chrome, as Firefox is becoming awful, but that would mean
a huge loss of productivity for me. So if you have been able to
get Chrome to work more reliably, I am interested in which
version of Chrome and which version of NVDA, as well as any
settings changes that you have made for your specific set-up. If
this is localized to just me, I am willing to do some
troubleshooting, but on three computers Chrome's behavior seems
to be the same. About the only improvement I have seen to Chrome
Canary is that NVDA reads out a few additional menu items that
it wasn't reading before. I might try resetting Chrome back to
default settings and removing all plugins to see if that has any
effect, but this installation of Chrome is pretty new, so I'm
not sure if that will help or not.

Thanks.

You can do absolutely nothing to get web visum to work after Firefox 43. That trick only works for version 43. After that, there is nothing at all one can do to get web visum to work in Firefox. Web Visum is gone, so we need to figure out something else Lol!

Webvisum works in the latest firefox, you need to change some things on about:config... I don't have the values now, but someone posted the instructions on this (or in freelist) list,.

but on the other hand, when i browse to a site, where is a capcha available,
the capcha wil be processed byy rumola, even if you don't need it at that

i think that is a problem, if i don't can disable it until i need it.

I have Chrome and Canary and don’t get the same as you re

The quick navigation keys operate when you are in browse mode

Re: addressing emails in Thunderbird in NVDA

Gene
 

First, you shouldn't place multiple addresses in the address line nor should you use the cc field unless you want others to know who got the message such as in a business or organization context.  If you are simply sending a message to a group of people and there is no reason for them to know who else received the message, use the BCC field.  Many people object to their e-mail addresses being splattered all over the internet.  Also, in such cases, place your address in the to line.  That will mean that you will get a copy of the message but that is not why it is done.  It is done to keep other peoples' addresses private. 
There is no trick with NVDA nor should there be.  Screen-readers should not provide ways of doing something that can be done well by a blind user in a program.
 
I don't know why you are having the problem you describe.  Knowing every step you are following might allow me or someone else to know. 
 
However, if you download and listen to this presentation excerpt, which is me explaining how to place contacts in messages in Thunderbird and control which field they are placed in, it may solve your problem as well as allow you to place addresses in the BCC field.

Hi,

I read the help page about this and it said to press enter after each

email it comes back with an error and has all the email addresses as one
long string instead of using it as individual addresses.

How do I address an email to multiple people using NVDA?  I realize this
may not be an NVDA issue but I am hoping there is some trick to doing

Re: addressing emails in Thunderbird in NVDA

Hello, you are right, the enter after each email should work, please
check that you are in the right line, it should be the one near the
subject line. In addition, Thunderberd has some other options as for,
cc, and bc, something like that, with those you can send emails to
different people without leting others know, you can get to those
lines using shift+tap, and them using the erros.
Hope it helps.

If these are well structured docs with headings, lists, tables, images, etc. and you don't need to edit them, but instead navigate/read them. It might be worth considering saving/exporting to HTML and interacting with it using a web browser.

well you can put 1 address then in the cc field put all address seperated by a ,.
Or in the to field put address 1,address2 and so on.
