Re: braille edge
The text appears after the blank line.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Mostly the blank line is at the top of the braille page, but sometimes it happens in the middle as well.

MS office DAISY training module
What plans does NV Access have to make audio versions of the other help
documents in the NVDA store? Such as the Office training books? I've really loved the getting started DAISY audio package. I'm just wondering if NV Access has plans to make audio versions of the other books?

Is the rest of the text appearing after that? Or is the blank line appearing instead of the text that should be there?

NVDA and Jarte
David Russell
Hi NVDA Folks,
I noticed an email thread from 2016 by Quentin and someone named Ali discussing formatting changes between NVDA and Jarte. Ali's response left me choosing to try and make the best of Jarte before scrapping it altogether for MS Word. Is there a way to get NVDA to announce next page when reading through a document in Jarte? Also, can one cause line spacing changes the same way as in MS Word? I believe it's control plus 1, control plus 2, or control plus 5. Thanks again! -- David Russell david.sonofhashem@gmail.com

Remote add-on not present
Glenn / Lenny
Hi,
A friend is running the latest NVDA on windows 7
64.
He added the remote add-in, 2.1 and it does not
show up in tools.
I have the same setup and it is there in
mine.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hello,
NVDA is very accessible with Skype both the universtal app from Windows store and also with the desktop app. In the desktop app you can also use the browse mode in Skype and you can browse the window like a website in your browser.
If you are a keyboard shortcut lover, here are the shortcuts for skype 8: https://winaero.com/blog/keyboard-shortcuts-skype-version-8-0/

Hello list,
I am using the latest versions of NVDA and Windows 10.
I would like to start using Skype again. However, I find that Skype is not very accessible nowadays. That is my opinion anyway. How well does NVDA work with Skype? If not, is there a substitute of Skype or a more accessible version which I am not familiar with?
Thanks in advance.

Re: windows 10 1903

Wow I sure on my HP Pavilion it read the volume percentages! Yu see with earbuds I use it at 65% or around, and with the regular Laptop speaker I use it at 30 or 40%. Before I got my computer Tech to modify the Bios in terms of the funtion keys, when my earbuds were plugged in, it’d autmatically switch to its preset volume, and when unplugged, it’d revert back to its volume. Now I need to change it manually depending on if I’ve earbuds, or using its speaker.

windows 10 1903
Matt Turner
Hi folks.
Just installed it from the .iso file on my mac mini, and its working grate. So when I'm using NVDA the latest version, every time I push the volume keys on my keyboard, I hear the percent of the volume changes. For example, volume level 16, volume level 14. This only seems to happen when I'm on the desktop with windows d. is there anyway to turn that off, or maybe have it play a sound?

Re: NVDA tutorials for MSWord and Track Changes CT
Ed Marquette
Track changes are not hard to use. Just practice. Here are some helpful (at least for me) ways to remember the track changes commands.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Turing on and off track changes is something you know how to do. Word’s status line will tell you if it is on or not. At least mine does. If you just want to “hop” to the next revision, use Alt_R_H, pressed, not together, but in a series. If you want to “accept” a change, press alt_R_A. That brings up a list of choices, including the specific occurrence, all changes in the document, and so on. If you want to “junk” the change, press Alt_R_J. Again, you will get a list of choices. Also, at any change, a right mouse click (or shift + F10 or the Applications Key)” will give you a handy list of commands. I’m a lawyer, and I use track changes nearly every day. Good luck!

I have been using mine now for a year this month. Before this my last braille display was the Braille Light 40 back in 99. I gave it back because I was taking programming classes and it would not have helped me in that effort as far as being able to run the program I wrote. The BrailleEdge40 I am enjoying for both reading and writing. Be aware that if you are also wanting to go on-line then you will either have to Bluetooth it to your phone or connect it to your pc.

Re: Copying Text in Original Format With NVDA
Ed,
It almost worked for me. I was able to see the window where I should choose how I wanted to paste the text, but then the only option there was text plain. What makes me think that the problem is indeed with the way NVDA copies it. Anyway, thanks :) Cheers, Marcio AKA Starboy Sent from a galaxy far, far away. --Are you a Thunderbird user?
