Hi Jackie, It is another Janet who was asking about voices for NVDA. AS for "find", I have tried both versions. Thanks, Janet B

Janet, might I ask what keys you're pressing to find material on screen? I ask this because NVDA can work w/2 versions of the find command. The well-known one is control f. That one actually is

Thank you gentlemen. Both of those are useful workarounds. I do have to say I'd like to keep the formatting, though. I'll try opening one of the PDFs using word, and saving out the resulting docx to

There are a couple things you can try. 1. Just open the quick reference in word. The address bar of your browser will tell you where it is. Word should then import the file, and let you re-save it as

It isn’t a question of settings. It’s a question of learning commands for moving among and within objects. An object may have another object in it, by analogy something like a table and a leg

An interesting aspect of objects is that they can be very large. I think most objects are small, that is my impression. I don’t know if this is generally true of text editors and word processors,

For accuracy and completeness, I should add that its possible something might go wrong with NVDA and no settings would be saved when they are saved either automatically or manually. That is very

That's good to know, thanks :)

I was actually saying if the save on configuration on exit was checked then even if he saved the settings manually and then continued doing whatever he does causing the setting to change in that time

Jujube, The only thing I'd add is that objects include things that are not conventional controls, and the example of the status bar (that isn't a conventional status bar in presentation) at the bottom

No. You said to save the settings manually, which the user did. the problem occurred after the settings were saved. You appear to be saying that the automatic save the settings would save the wrong

We are in a nvda group, so what is the logical assumption here???

Here is what the message says. It does not indicate that what you think may be occurring is. If you want to ask, I have no objection but without asking, you don’t know. And the wording of the
