Have used it for a couple of things, but, nothing major, and not too often, and, yes, just had to tab around a bit as well.

Re: Help! Any way to disable error sound?
Quentin Christensen
Hi MK, Which version of NVDA are you using? The error sound is expected for this in snapshot builds, but in the stable NVDA 2017.1 should only generate the message in the log. This can be caused by documents created by some third party programs where document properties, such as column width, aren't set properly. See this issue for details: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/6996 If you go into the page setup dialog in the document and ensure "gutter position" has a value that should stop the error (assuming that is the problem - if it's something else, please let me know). Kind regards Quentin.

Re: Help! Any way to disable error sound?
Gene
I'm not sure if there is a way other than this but
before I go into it in more detail than I am now, I'll wait and see. But
one thing you can do is to create a wave file with a bit of silence and nothing
else. Then you can replace the error wave file with that one. I'm
not sure where the files are stored in the installed version. I have such
a file if you want it and I use it in the portable version I run to eliminate
sounds I don't want.

Re: Email Client

Hello Gene,
Sorry for the late reply but I have been having some problems with my
internet connection.
I have tried your suggestion of going to the language menu. Unfortunately,
the spellcheck in WLM still remains disabled. I will have to get a third party
spell checker.
Anyway, thanks for your help.
Here is a possible solution that doesn't involve
trying an uninstallation and reinstallation. Here is a suggestion from an
Internet discussion form.
To enable spell checking in Windows Live
Mail:
•Go to the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the
Spelling tab
•Within the Language section click your language to select it •Click Apply •Click OK This was written before the ribbon version came out but
you will probably find this item but I'm not sure where.

Hello Gene,
Thanks for your suggestion. My last message was written in haste and I
neglected to point out that I had already tried F7 without effect. When I go to
the spellcheck via the ribbon, it tells me that it is disabled and I can find no
way of enabling it.
If you mean to run the spellchecker, the short cut
command is f7. That is a very common command to run the spell checker in
programs that have them.

------- Original Message -----
I am using mainly Windows Live Mail and for the most part it works well.
However, I have not found a way to enable the spellcheck facility.
Suggestions would be appreciated.
I'm with everyone so far, but in different senses. Thunderbird is indeed an excellent e-mail client overall and works beautifully with NVDA and other screen readers. One can teach basic use and ignore all the bells and whistles not needed. That being said, the less sophisticated user can and often does get themselves into trouble by fat-fingering something and triggering some function that they do not know about, do not wish to trigger, and have no idea how to exit. That is the trouble with using a really full-featured e-mail client like Thunderbird. I like Windows Live Mail 2012, and even though it's no longer officially supported that is mostly because Microsoft decided to change their proprietary access methods and did not wish to continue updating Windows Live Mail. It still serves perfectly well as a POP or IMAP e-mail client. If you want to download a copy of the full offline installer for Microsoft Essentials, of which Windows Live Mail is a part, it's on my Google Drive in 7-Zip format here. I snagged a copy of the offline installer a couple of weeks before Microsoft withdrew active support. I have recently learned of another fairly simple email client, eM Client, that looks quite
good but I have not had a chance yet to evaluate it from an accessibility
standpoint. The interface seems to be simpler than Thunderbird's is, and
that can be critical. If you do evaluate this client for
accessibility please report back. The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing in the right place but to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment. ~ Dorothy Nevill

Re: best way to read news with the app in Windows 10
David Moore
Yes, using object navigation is the answer to accessing a lot with NVDA. Object navigation is very similar to the JAWS touch cursor. I would not even suggest using NVDA without learning all of the object navigations key commands. That is what makes NVDA access more controls for me than JAWS in programs and on web pages. Just press NVDA+N and arrow to the help menu, and open the users guide. Chapters 4 and five are crucial to memorize, because that is where you learn all about navigating with the review cursor, and navigating to each object or control and then reading what is on that object with the reading commands for the review cursor. I have tutorials for all of that. David Moore Sent from Mail for Windows 10

Do you know about working with object navigation? The JAWS touch cursor is the rough equivalent of object navigation. I almost never use JAWS these days and I don't have Windows 10 but if you learn about object navigation, it will likely allow you to do what you want. Other list members who know more about working with apps may have other, better suggestions but whatever the case, learning about object navigation is very worth while and it allows me to work with interfaces I couldn't work with otherwise.

Re: The windows store in windows 10
David Moore
Hi, You pretty much said it. When store opens, you can tab to user profile and press enter, then arrow down to downloads and updates, and press enter on that, and update all of your apps. To search for an app, just press CTRL+E and you are in the search edit box. Type in the name of the app and press enter. Then, you have to tab many times to get back to where you did your search, and you will be able to read all of the apps that match what your search was. Just press enter on the app you are interested in, and it will download and install if it is free. I have never bought an app in the store. I do not know how all of that works. It is important that you keep your apps updated. Have a great one. David Moore Sent from Mail for Windows 10

Re: best way to read news with the app in Windows 10

Hi Jessica, I use the touch cursor in JAWS to navigate the News App. This works very well. When you open the News App with JAWS 17 or 18, the touch cursor will come on automatically, and you can start pressing the right and left arrow keys to go through the different News articles. When you hear a title of a news article, press enter, then you can press right arrow to read the different hunks of the article. The entire article will not read; you pres the right arrow, listen to part of it, then press right arrow to hear more until you are done. If you want to use all of your reading commands to read word by word, for example, you have to enter text mode. To do this, press insert+enter. You will hear a sound, and then you can read that section of the article with up and arrow, and so on. When you are ready to go back to the touch cursor, just press escape, and then you can right arrow to the next hunk. You will know when you come to the end of that article, and then you just keep pressing the right arrow to get to the next article with the touch cursor turned on. To set up your news so you will get the articles that you are interested in to come up, turn off the touch cursor, and tab to a list of the different kinds of news that you can select from. Top headlines is already chosen. You can choose from sports news, and many other types of news. From then on, those articles of news will be there as you press the right arrow with the touch cursor turned on. Let us know if you have anymore questions after you try this. Let us know how it goes.
