Re: Navigation Pane
Cearbhall O'Meadhra
Hi,
I am really struggling to find a good description of how to use the Navigation Pane in Word 2010 with NVDA or, indeed, any screen reader!
Could anyone point me to a good tutorial or even set out the steps that they use to move through the results of a word search after pressing control-f in Word 2010, please?
All the best,
Cearbhall

This is a pity as its been very reliable in the past on this windows 7 machine. OK you need to change a few paths with 7 and 10 to make it work, but its not that hard to do. Brian bglists@...

Nice thing is it will announce the new folder, but that is also what makes it so confusing. *Note* windows + d also takes you to the desktop like windows + m does, you only need to use one hand though.

First, and apologies to those who may disagree, but it seems to me that currently, the Start menu on 10 with NVDA is slightly less than pleasant to use. :) I've changed mine up now, I got tired of how crappy it was working for me so I took all the stuff out of the pinned apps area so it no longer shows up, but this is what I was able to figure out. When you first press the start button and it lands you in the search box, you can press tab, either once or twice and it should take you to a vertical list containing a fairly large number of apps and some of their associated folders. As you arrow up and down here, NVDA will first read the section you come to, so A, B, etc and then under those, read you apps that fall under those sections. As you probably already know, it's here that you can press the applications key and pin said apps to the start menu. As for the area where Apps actually get pinned, it looks like shift tab is what you want, so doing it from the search box should land you there. It's here that you should be able to use the arrow keys to move up, down, left and right in the grid, but unfortunately, NVDA seems to read things here all weird. As something that looks similar to how IOS likes to create named directories based on the names of the stuff you put in them, as you're moving around here, you'll come to these named sections and can press enter to rename them. As you're moving around here, you'll land on these sections, lets say, Audio and Music just as an example and can sometimes press down or wright and it will start reading you the pinned apps under that section. If you happen to only have one or two things here though, It's sometimes hard to get it to land where you want on the icon or whatever. I've wondered if it's possible to turn off the structuring of the apps you pin here and just have them in a huge grid, but if so, I've not figured it out. I'm also not sure if this is something that NVDA just hasn't caught up with and if there are things in the pipe down the road that will make it more friendly, but so far, it is kind of a pain to use. haha If you play with it though and figure out anything else, I'd certainly be interested. Take care.

It obviously detects the operating system. They have sent out many messages from well over a month ago warning people about this and it did actually last an extra day. I see now they are claiming that its a security issue with xp as its not been updated for over two years, however many of us do have xp updates till 2019, and really should not be all shoved together with the great unwashed as it seems xp users are seen these days.

I noticed the thing updated on one xp machine to 9.x and asked me to log in with the usual g for girraffe, but on doing so, it did not do it. I really think they should have disabled the updates and switched the app off. This half hearted log out is a pain and i have had to disable or remove the app on two machines to stop it doing stupid repeated updates and using up processor and on line resources.

I don't think any version will work. If older versions work, I don't know if there is a way to stop updates. Drop Box is not intended to allow the user to control whether updates occur. When not tampered with or the function blocked in some way, Drop Box always updates itself to the current version. But I suspect that the site knows if you are using XP regardless of which version you are using and will sign you out. Others may have information that contradicts what I think but that's what I think. I don't know how useable the actual site is but you can work with files on the site still if you use XP.

Re: To all xp users who were running dropbox
Brian's Mail list account
No, basically, as the first thing it does is updates itself then logs you out. You can still use the online parts, but not the desktop applications. I did try to find out why but never got a straight answer, but the suspicion is that they are using more modern compilers for the C code and don't want to have the fuss of putting in special switches to create xp compatible code which may well run slower.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I did suggest allowing access of older versions but their very vague reply suggested that features that will be added could not be supported in the older versions of the app. In other words, they just don't want to be bothered, is how I read it.

Re: ASSISTANCE OR ADVICE
Quentin Christensen
Sounds interesting. When the site says "coming soon to your mobile" - do you mean "iPhone" or will it be available for Android as well? I notice the line further down which mentions working with VoiceOver, but doesn't say anything about TalkBack. If so, will it be playable between platforms (ie I have an Android and my wife has an iPhone, will we be able to play each other)? Kind regards Quentin.
