Re: Fillable PDF Forms & NVDA
Gene
The message states that tabbing doesn't work.
If tabbing doesn't work, it is very unlikely that numpad 5 or, what is actually
the correct key, numpad 8, will work. Numpad 8 is the read current
line command. Numpad 5 is the read current word command. You want to
read the line, not a single word.
The only command I know that may be relevant is
NVDA key tab. JAWS key tab does the same thing. It reads the field
you are in. While possible that this will help, I doubt it. but you
can try.

It may correct itself. It may happen on any

cause such a problem.

Re: NVDA and a free office
Gene
I don't consider such minor inconveniences to be
meaningful. If you have to issue an extra keystroke and that's all, that
is a minor work around and doesn't indicate how the program performs overall
when compared with another. I don't know how the programs compare for
blind people but I read somewhere that Libre Office is updated in a more timely
manner and is more current. As a blind computer user who uses more than
just a small number of programs known to be fully accessible, such work arounds
are likely to be needed in this or that program.
What, if any other differences, do you like about
Open Office?

I had a similar situation with a survey that I filled out for Microsoft. For some strange reason, NVDA didn't see all the filds so I used system access to go and it worked perfectly. This wasn't a PDF form but NVDA didn't see all the fields but system access to go did. Rosemarie

Re: NVDA and a free office

The F6 and F10 keys are rather helpful in both LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice, suggest a close read of these resources: https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Shortcuts_Accessibility https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/General_Shortcut_Keys_in Note: the dynamic nature of development in LibreOffice has led to a number of changes in the User Interface--notably some menu and dialog items that are listed in the wiki and on-line help files are not always correct and the documentation needs additional updating. Just ask if you get stuck -- LibreOffice Nabble based mail list is here http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Accessibility-f2006038.html and LibreOffice runs an Ask forum here: https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/questions/ Unfortunately the Apache OpenOffice Accessibility documentation was not updated following implementation of IAccessible2 support and still refers to MSAA support via Java Accessibility and the Java Accessibility Bridge. However a vibrant user forum is still available to assist here: https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/index.php Stuart
