Re: how do i get my NVDA to read powerpoints
hurrikennyandopo ...
Hi
Here is a link to a powerpoint that I have just been working on (which is promoting NVDA). It is still a work in progress, and the information is courtesy of the main join the revolution section from the NVDA website. It is from nvaccess ABOUT section.
It is not automated at the moment, and it is only a rough draft. Not sure whether to do one with visuals and no sound; and I can add animations and timings etc. When I am finished with it, I can add it to the powerpoint info I put across the list earlier. Here is the link https://www.dropbox.com/s/yc04mlsf1m9zigo/Join%20the%20NVDA%20revolution%21.pptx?dl=0

It's been a while since I've read OCR text. Things might sound a little run together, but it is legible.

Speaking of text, does the Grammer error function of NVDA work again.
I know it was removed a while back, but has it been put back?

Re: NVDA and outlook, discussion about columns in message list
Tony,
      In regard to your biggest complaint, I may have an answer, or something that can help. Outlook 2016, in default mode, has a 2-step expand for a conversation when it's collapsed, and it's meant to be a convenience but I can see how it might not be. If you're on a collapsed conversation and right arrow once to expand it, the first level expansion will only show messages in the conversation that originated from a sender or senders other than you. Your own responses are not included in level one expansion. If you hit right arrow twice, the conversation is fully expanded with your own responses (which are actually in the Sent folder) shown embedded in their correct place(s) in the conversation. In level two (full) expansion up and down arrows behave as you think they should.        You may also find that tweaking the Conversation Settings may get you the results you wish, but I'm not sure what combination would suit you best. That's for you to play with. To change conversation view:
          A Show senders above the subject   Default: ON           X Always expand selected conversation  Default OFF  Note well - it's a selected conversation, not one you happen to be arrowing up or down over           I Use classic indented view -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1809, Build 17763  A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep.      ~ Saul Bellow, To Jerusalem and Back  Â

Thanks. Most of the pdf files are okay. Though I did have to tell NVDA to stop saying clickable. But the textbook on blackboard are scanned and well… not fun. Â

Re: NVDA and outlook, discussion about columns in message list
Tony,
      Please let me know what version of Outlook. I have Outlook 2016, and though most of this sort of basic navigation has been the same "since dirt" it's still helpful to know if we're both looking at exactly the same Outlook version or not.        I'll do some noodling around and get back to you after I have the version. -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1809, Build 17763  A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep.      ~ Saul Bellow, To Jerusalem and Back  Â
