I do have a tutorial on using google chrome with nvda i think it is written and there is a audio version at http://www.accessibilitycentral.net/nvda%20tutorials%20for%20other%20programs.html When you go to that page jump down by headings until you get to the one on using google chrome with nvda.
it is not the one which was done by David but some one might post a link to his one as well.

The JAVA access bridge has no effect on what NVDA

don't have the JAVA Access Bridge and it makes no difference. Your problem

Re: List of Utilities that Make Windows 10 More Like Windows 7

Its a shame that the tool does not offer a silent command line version so one can run it on boot up without it going on and off like a toggle. Then every time windows does a major update it could be installed. However this is a bit off topic for here.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I'd also like Windows 10 to have an ignore out of date software option for updates as there are a number of pieces of software that run fine but Windows hates and confines them to the old windows folders mucking up their install and usage paths in the process. This can be very annoying if its an email program like Outlook Express when they offer such a crippled one free by default. Brian bglists@... Sent via blueyonder.

Re: NVDA and MS Office 365
Hmmm thats good to know.

I do have a fully licenced version of office xp so if I ever needed it I could use it but probably wouldn't. Has anyone tried wps its chinese and came out in 1997. There was 1, there is always 1 site claming that it is installed with extras and that its full of spyware and it should be removed and then you need to reformat the system to make sure its gone, but I havn't seen that happen. From all accounts, the subscription which is 30 bucks a year gives you full access to office like programs for both pcs and mobile phones. its 80 dollars for the pc full licence. The only restriction is that for free users there is a mark placed on printed documents however unless you need to print things a lot it probably matters zilch. I must say though the only time I had to use excell it was to open a bunch of excell files for some worksheet printing for my mum and I did that on my dads office cloud box and that was fine. For just about everything else I use jarte pluss which is 35 dollars for lifetime use. Even then I don't really use a word processer, as a tester, admin, and semi retired light hacker my work is with text files in notepad, reading a few document briefs in jarte, using adobe reader for pdfs, thunderbird for emails and loads on loads of web forms, servey sites, google forms and google documents and loads and loads of online reports through web portals and generaters. Its been at least 15 years since I needed to touch a word document or an office file for real and to be brootally honest I don't miss it a bit.
