This is a huge can of worms. I personally feel that they are dire for blind users, but some people on here think that once you grasp the concept they are in fact easy.

Its a classic case of the way your brain visualises the concepts. I did notice Jaws can be set to pretend they are normal menus, but my feeling here is that since you can use a simple add on to alter them ie ribbon remover, then I see no reason why Microsoft do not offer the themselves, but in a recent interview with Jenny at Microsoft she merely said, Embrace the ribbon, which I took to mean they are dogmatically against it. Bah humbug I say. Brian bglists@blueyonder.co.uk Sent via blueyonder. Please address personal E-mail to:- briang1@blueyonder.co.uk, putting 'Brian Gaff' in the display name field.

Re: find command

I understand this is due to some page formatting issues that means that nvda thinks its on the right line, but is one out. I am not sure if its been fixed either.

Automatically converting EPUB to EPUB3
Akshaya Choudhary
Hello group!
An NGO in my locality provides visually impaired people with free newspapers in EPUB3 format. They use a software called Calibre to download the newspaper and convert it to EPUB, it then has to be converted to EPUB3. It is her they face difficulty, they have to do it manually and they don't have the adequate staff. Can this process be automated? Can EPUB files be converted to EPUB 3 automatically? All suggestion and shared experiences are welcome. -- Regards, Sociohack

Re: find command
Gene
That's what NVDA says. But I didn't write
everything. The important thing is that NVDA find opens adialog. If,
for some reason, the dialog doesn't come up but some sort of find comes up,
that’s very likely the find in your browser itself. It won't work with
NVDA.

Problem with NVDA and some Firefox addons which activate via context menu
Mr. Wong Chi Wai, William <cwwong.pro@...>
Hi,
For some Firefox addons, e.g. ContextSearch (still some more, but I have already deleted and forget there names lol) mentioned that these addons can be activated via context menu. However after installing them, I pressed keyboard aplication key to bring up the context menu inside a web page, the menu has no change. Others tested it out that the context menu only works if they use mouse to select something and right click with mouse. Does it related to how NVDA work? or it is something that Firefo need to fix? Thanks. William

Re: Help Please, Downloading Spybot
Hi David, Personally I would not install Spybot S&D.I have used it in the past and last week decided to install it on my Win 10 Laptop. I have an i5 and 16GB of Ram and during the scan I got a message telling me that I did not have enough memory. All I had running was NVDA, so I did a few checks and found that Spybot was killing my machine. I googled the message and I found that I was not the only one experiencing the same issue. At the end of the day it is up to you if you install it, I just taught that I would share my experience. Regards, Stephen

Internet Explorer has a run command so you can run
an installer from a web site. With firefox, save the installer, then go to it
however you go to any file and run it.

Hi Make sure you are in browse mode when you press NVDA+Ctrl+f and once search text is entered, press NVDA+f3 to move to next instance, NVDA+shift+F3 to move to previous instance. You must be in browse mode for it to work properly.
