Re: NVDA and MS Office 365
Well to be honest unless you use excell I use jarte pluss and that works.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
office 2010 and 2007 are still supported offices and still use bits of the older interface. I still have an old fully legal coppy of office xp but its not going to work on 10 is it, unless there is a way. Then again jarte and the right converters are all I need I don't need the rest. I have heard about wps office which is a 30 dollar subscription also a free one if you don't mind your documents being marked, you can also buy a lifetime licence for 1 pc for 80 dollars, the 30 per year subscription gives you smart phone access. Aparently its been round since 1997 and is chinese owned but I am unsure if it is accessible or not. Its still cheaper per system than ms office is to be honest though. Where something like 365 does come in is if you have multiple devices, use onedrive and make a lot of skype calls. There are subscriptions that will make it worth your while. While I have not found out how to do it with dropbox google drive has a plugin for direct saving to google drive and I have installed it. Pluss it appears ms office has a few free programs. sway, todo, lens and one note are all free programs for just about everything. A standard user only needs the home version which is only about 140 dollars. The business versions have things like powerpoint publisher, access and outlook the home version is word powerpoint and excell which is about all everyone needs to be honest. If you do work in a company there is the home use program and this is how the family bar me use to have office on their systems.

Re: Interfering videos while browsing

If you are using that key combination for something else in Firefox that you had previously designated yourself, just go into the view menu and arrow to the reader view option manually and hit enter. Shouldn't that work for you even though you redesignated that key combination for your personal use?

I'm not exactly sure what you are talking about in regards to payment options, but I've noticed that the add to, like add to cart or add to list, are radio buttons and once you check they they either do it, in the case of add to list then a dialogue box box pops up that I generally just hit escape to get out of, or add to cart where you have to hit the submit query (at least that is what it says for me) to add to cart. Just a warning it doesn't make any noise or refresh the page when I do this, I'm using latest version of firefox, but when I refreshed the page and go to my cart it will show that I have 1 item in there.

Its so unpredictable. I have not had it on freelists for a long time now, but groups.io seems to be flavour of the month for it. What I don't get is that even before i take the unbounce link emails are being bounced into the account. If the site can send me bounces why not the actual mail itself?

Now I have changed my payment card details but when I go into my account the correct card is shown as active so I'm in a bit of a puzzled state.

think something wanted to update and can't make it do it

Hi list was finishing up a game chat on games galore and more. my NVDA was
toggled speech mode off so I didn’t have a conflict with the golf game I was
playing. when I snapped it back to talk saw a yes and no button am thinking it
was app essentials. when I hit yes got an error downloading addon message. what
do I do to update that windows 10 app esentials and make sure that update
installs properly. I think it was because of the talking communities client and
the kitchen game running that messed up the update. will it prompt me
again?
