edge and web shortcuts
Gary Metzler
Hi All,
I am using the latest win10 and nvda. Whenever I start my facebook shortcut and it loads I get the message invalid entry. But, when I do this within edge it doesn’t happen. It only happens with edge and desktop shortcuts. Has anyone else noticed this? Can this be fixed? Thanks for any help.

Re: Web Browsers
Gene
Which is why, instead of expecting sighted site
designers to change the layout of their sites, blind people should know what
such "helpful" comments tell them. The shape obviously doesn't
matter. But if something is on the left side of a site, such as the
navigation links are, screen-readers place them at the top of the screen.
Then comes the main content, which is below the navigation links and which is in
the center of the screen for sighted users, the center from left to right, it
may be anywhere from top to bottom for a sighted user, then on the right, there
is often a number of links which blind people see at the bottom of the
screen. So when a sighted person tells you that something is on the right
middle of the screen, that means that, for a blind person, it will be near the
bottom of the screen.
A lot of blind people get poor instruction on how
to use the Internet.
Gene

StationPlaylist Studio add-on 18.10.1/18.09.3-LTS
#addonrelease
Hi all,
Shortly after release of SPL add-on 18.10, a broadcaster reported an issue where Studio won’t play the first track after an encoder was connected to a streaming server. After some investigation, the problem was traced to wxPython 4 (NVDA 2018.3.x) where text output would fail under some circumstances (specifically, wxPython 4 is more strict about where timers can be invoked from).
Because this affects everyone (except for people using really old builds) who are using NVDA 2018.3.x, I’m going to release version 18.10.1 and 18.09.3-LTS for those on stable and longterm channels, respectively. For those using development snapshots, revision A of September 21st build will also be released.
Thanks. Cheers, Joseph

Toggling On and Off Format Documents
#addonrelease
David Kingsbury
Hello,
I have just discovered the document formatting tool and think it is great for checking formatting in my documents. Is there a way to quickly and easily toggle it on and off. I understand you can go into input gestures and do it for individual things in the dialogue box, but can you toggle on and off the entire set of elements with a single shortcut key? I don't want to have to go into the dialogue box and check and uncheck a bunch of check boxes every time I want to proofread my formatting. Thanks for any help on this, David Kingsbury

I figured out how to get NVDA to read me the numbers, at least. I'm still having issues getting the automatic numbers that I want when I have to edit things.

StationPlaylist Studio and Windows 10 App Essentials 18.10, a note about GoldWave and Resource Monitor 18.10
#addonrelease
Hi all,
In a few moments StationPlaylist Studio and Windows 10 App Essentials 18.10 will hit the air (released). Both will require NVDA 2018.3, and each of them has unique changes here and there:
A note about Windows 10 App Essentials: after installing 18.10, you may notice Windows 10 App Essentials is no longer listed in NVDA’s preferences menu. This is the case if you are using Add-on Updater (proof of concept), as that add-on will check for Windows 10 App Essentials updates from now on (unless you disable Add-on Updater, in which case the update facility provided by Windows 10 App Essentials will be used). The full update functionality for WinTenApps will be enabled starting with Add-on Updater build to be released later today.
One more thing: yesterday, when I announced release of GoldWave and Resource Monitor 18.10, I said both includes a surprise. And the surprise: both add-ons are Python 3 compatible (yes, they do run and work as expected in Python 3 edition of NVDA). For those on add-ons list, you don’t have to worry about this until NV Access recommends porting your add-ons to Python 3. For folks on users list, keep an eye on this and start contacting add-on authors regarding wxPython 4 support, let alone Python 3 readiness when asked by NV Access.
Cheers, Joseph

Also what happens with my idea of going to cntrl/alt/delete and then hitting cancel on the lock the computer screen? For some unkwon reason at least in my windows 7, the inability of nvda to speak some stuff goes away when I do this.

Alright. Thank you guys for your suggestions! I convert epub or pdf files to word as it is easier to add comments and highlight text.. This is especially useful while revising documents later on.

Are you using the programs auto-numbering to number your paragraphs? Also, which version of Word are you using. If you would like to send me a private copy of an example file, I would be glad to figure out the best option.
