Re: Alternative to LibreOffice

Hi,

I had the same issue but then I discovered that when NVDA stops talking if you press f2 and then press it again the issue goes away for that LibreOffice Calc session. Pressing f2 places calc in an edit mode on whatever cell is in focus. Pressing it again takes it out of edit mode. I hope this will help you. Dan Beaver

Is there not an implication if any of the software has only, say three installs per key?

The Omnipage and JAWS OCR equivalent for NVDA is its own Tessarac based OCR add-on available from the community portal website at http://addons.nvda-project.org/addons/ocr.en.html Let us know in case you or others encounter difficulties while using the same. Thanks.

Re: Accessible imaging Software with NVDA?
Well if you can get a windows talking pe I am sure someone will tell you where the heck to get that its somewhere on briansmart.com, well if you go to runtime.org or search for drive image xml you can happily make an image of whatever and back it up to a drive.

You need the module to add to your boot p image or simply have as a portable on hand. You will need speech to actually run the image and restore the entire thing. One thing though, I am assuming all these units have the same key or different keys. Once you restore that machine I am unsure if the image will be activated or not. I am unsure if by restoring you will invalidate your current key, yes you can change it but I am unsure how it works. You may want to have the net turned off from all machines till you put in the right keys. What I have tended to do with programs at least is have everything with switches in a batch script, run that as admin etc. Before I did the remote and service thing, I had a small bit of software setup on the system that logged all keypresses and things the user did. If a certain file or files existed in a certain location, then it would access a dropbox share and run the files I set in them. I never got it fully working though. I never got round to completely automating the files though. My plan was to somehow have it such that I could upload to the share all I needed, and then have something check for files run them, email me and then quit but it never happened because I couldn't find a way to handle it. Now days I'd probably get one of the ransomware packages set something to run, then when the user started the system get a message saying the system was unusable and that it was going to update mode then it would do its thing, report back and say it was uptodate. It would mean I had control of things and all I'd have to do was upload the right files to the dropbox share. But it never got that far. I am still searching for a way to do it, including logging certain events, crashes, problems, and have an option where if a user had a problem they could write it down somehow and get the right info and get it mailed to me then I could go fixing it remotely but I never got that far and I am no programmer.

Re: microsoft word 2-16 and outlook 2016:
Hmmm.

Whenever I have switched last I simply resubbed my email lists and such, on email addresses. On my tb I did a straight export from eudora and it worked. If you find your .pst file which is usually in documents\outlook files or %appdata%\office\outlook or something like that you should in theory be able to import your mail and contacts at least. I don't use other features of outlook though, does outlook crash with other readers, ie jaws? I had outlook do bad things not syncing devices and being bad last week with dad's iphone and his main system mail. After repairing the icloud system, I had to end up deleting his entire profiles, recreating it again, using his allready imported datafile on his system then subbing everything again again. Have you tried to reinstall or repair office?

What e-mail client do you suggest? I have looked at thunderbird but cannot use it because importing from outlook is broken. I need to do a lot of formatting of documents such as using styles so cannot switch to alternative office applications because as far as I know they lack the underlying infrastructure to communicate fully with NVDA.

Unless it can be fixed. I abandond ms office ages ago. In fact I think if I ever hit the need for office that I will either use old office xp which I legally own or one of the free office installs. I do know that office 2007 or 2010 will work and with the features I use I don't need the cloud office apps and so won't run into a problem. Since I do have jarte though its about all I will need. If libreoffice works well or openoffice that is then I will probably use that. True, if someone offers me office whatever the latest is and its funded for my business then hmmm. Maybe I will use jaws because thats what people do for office and just use nvda for my personal use but I'd really like to use nvda for as much as I can. Technically I could use my other comercial readers but since nvda needs to be used on a lot of things well. I have got used to the ribbon in office and the shortcuts and it works as it should as long as I know the various code sequences. On 14/09/2016 5:34 p.m., Pranav Lal wrote: Hi Paul,

Re: Microsoft Word with NVDA by NV Access now available

In something like the document field in Word, if you use the review cursor to mark text with NVDA+f9 to start and NVDA+f10 to end, it is selected just as if you'd used shift+arrows, so you could use control+c to copy or control+b to bold or anything else you can do with selected text. In other places where the text is not otherwise accessible (in the winver dialog for instance), you do need to use NVDA+f10 to copy as control+c won't work there. Regards Quentin.

After using NVDA+f9 to start mark, the First NVDA+f10 does the end mark and selects the text between the 2 points, then the second f10 press copies it to the clipboard, so the second f10 press is identical to pressing Ctrl+c but you could replace it with ctrl+x if you want to cut the selected text and use ctrl+v to paste it elsewhere. --

Re: Finding in MS Word

Hi Christo, Yes control+alt+y should work to "find next" in any version of word - at least 2010 through 2016. Alternatively the previously mentioned control+page up and control+page down should work exactly the same (unless you go into the goto dialog and use it to go to something else). Regards Quentin.
