Hi folks,
has anyone else observed that sometimes NVDA reports the title of the
desktop as "Explorer" whereas at other times it states "Program
Manager?"
As an aside, I find that "Explorer" is often announced even when it is
inappropriate as something completely different has focus.
Best,

Hello folks,


Using Windows 10 pro 64, NVDA 19.1, MS Office 2003/Excel.


I'm having trouble running Excel with NVDA. With NVDA running, Excel will only flash and stop; reverting to the previous screen. If Excel is already running, NVDA will not start. Excel runs properly with JAWS demo; runs, but not usably with Narrator.


I have used this combination (NVDA and Excel) successfully for many months. Perhaps I should go back to an earlier version of NVDA. See my note (below) posted on another list.


Anybody, thanks for ideas.


Howard


Trying different screen readers:
1. With NVDA, I get the results I described in my message above.
2. With Narrator, Pressing enter on the desktop shortcut, I get two or three clicks and revert to the previously running application. Pressing the spacebar will start Excel, but no useful information is read.
3. With JAWS (40 minute demo), Excel comes up and allows normal functioning: data entry, reading cells, opening and saving file.

It appears to me that this is caused by an interaction with the screen readers.

I probably could get done what I need to in less than forty minutes but it sure is inconvenient. Maybe something to ask the NVAccess folks.

Fixed: I began wondering if my copy of NVDA had somehow become
corrupted. I reloaded the program and it seems to have fixed the
problem.

Hello: Is it possible that the latest version of NVDA doesn't play
well with Excel 2007? I have been using Windows 10 with these
programs successfully in a previous version of NVDA but now, when I
open Excel it crashes almost immediately.
As an alternative, can I easily roll back to NVDA in a 2018 version
that Excel worked well with?

Any help or information would be appreciated. Thanks,

Hi NVDA Group,

I am using the Hemingway Editor application, which is an editing tool
for writers.
Output is given in color schemes, and wonder what is the command to
turn on and off colors with NVDA?

I looked online but could not find the command for this. Thanks in advance.

The only one I can think of is Deck Talk, but I don't know if x'savailable anymore. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful.

Thanks for the plug, Marcio. I've had some fairly serious family
emergencies this past few months, but I'm hoping to schedule some
activities/classes in the near future. Again, I appreciate the
shout-out. Thanks so much! & for those list members among us, I do
apologize for the lack of activity. These past few months have been
tough.

Hi Ralph,
Although I believe you got the answers you were looking for, I just
wanted to chime in and offer you a list where you can talk about
Wordpress, ask your questions and such.
This list is actually a low traffic one as far as I can remember, and
I'd believe the lady that created it is here with us.
While, as I said, the list is a low traffic one, if you post a question
that's for sure you're gonna get some interesting answer(s).

Hi Friends,

I am contemplating starting a blog and have a tech who can help me
with hosting and getting started. Any suggestions for which software
works well with NVDA? My tech is suggesting WordPress, but he is not
particularly familiar with NVDA. Have you all found WordPress to be
fully accessible using NVDA?

Warmly,

Ralph

So, is blind.help.com an illegal site?

I have no idea, as I cannot get it to load under any web browser to make even a quick assessment.   That was not the site I know to be problematic, which those of you who are on e-mail have already received the link to, which has been redacted from the archive.

When the first thing on the page is an audio recording of Mary Poppins Returns, which has only very recently had commercial release on DVD/Blu-Ray, the probability of that having been produced with the permission of Disney Studios is zero.
