Re: Advisory on future releases for Joseph's add-ons: two add-ons will drop support for Windows XP and other old releases by end of 2017
Lets just hope not too many older routines are removed from the new versions of nvda. This will allow writers, for example someone writing an app module for OEE Classic to piggy back on the old OE app

If you are visually impaired you are allowed to download it for free as before. That is unless they have removed the page in the last two weeks.
I think you have to have a legal copy of windows 7 or8

I think though, that in a few parts of the world this is still not affordable, but unfortunately I do not see what can be done to resolve these issues.

Re: Excel reading issues
I wonder if you set up file attributes like background colour etc if that might help as a work around. It sounds like the way highlighting is being done in that version is not being seen by nvda. Does

Note that upgrade offer is only for users of Windows 7 and 8.1 (the same as the original offer that was open to everyone) - it's on that page but down the bottom in the fine print.

Re: quick templates for common tasks
Interestingly Supernova had something like this where it asked questions via checkboxes etc and then let you test the file on the target program. It did work but was quite time consuming to do.
