Re: colum headers in thunderbird
William, the following is a cut and paste from an accessibility central webpage (see here) regarding using NVDA and Thunderbird. Since the method suggested for what you wish to do involves object navigation I have to believe the instructions are recent: Using drag and drop with NVDA to rearrange column headers in Mozilla ThunderbirdIf you would like to move a column from one area to another in the email header, you will need to tab from tree view into your email message list. Next put NVDA into object navigation mode. Use the NVDA key + the number 1 on the numeric keypad to do this. If I wanted to move a particular column to another location (IE before or after the current column) I would do the following in the header of the email. From the message list, I would press the NVDA key + the number 4 on the numeric keypad until I heard the name of the column I wanted to move (for example Status). I would then press NVDA + Numpad divide (above the number 8 on the numeric keypad) to route the mouse pointer there. Then you would press Shift + Numpad divide again to lock the left mouse button. Press the NVDA key + Numpad 4 again a number of times until you hear the name of the column immediately before the column I want to move the selected column to (for example next to unread). Press the NVDA key + Numpad divide to put the mouse pointer there, and press the Shift key + Numpad divide to unlock the left mouse button. Please note: You can also use the NVDA key + the number 6 on the numeric keypad to move it back the other way then unlock it in that position. Now, when you arrow down or up your messages, you will notice the difference when NVDA reads it out.

The mail app in windows 10
Gene New Zealand <hurrikennyandopo@...>
Hi guys
Just a quick question. In windows 10 in the mail app is there a way of replying to a message or even forwarding it on? I can not seem to find any buttons or no matter what I do to reply to a message or forward one. fIs this the way the app is designed more just to read and delete etc. I did also notice that when you typed in to the message of the body plus the subject line there was no key echo, but would read back what you typed. I was seeing if it worked or not as one of my hotmail accounts refuses to work now and no matter what I do in mozilla thunderbird to make it work is no longer working. Gene nz

Re: Comments in Word
Quentin Christensen
Hi Kelby, From what you say, it sounds like you're doing the right things. If you're able to share the file with me off-list I'd be happy to have a look for you and see if it's doing anything strangely. Otherwise, what version of Word are you using? Regards Quentin.

You can do it using the mouse. I think is the only way right now.

colum headers in thunderbird
William Sallander <wsallander@...>
Greetings everybody:
I have the latest version of Thunderbird and I wish to re-arrange the column headers. I've been all over the place and can't seem to figure out the correct procedures to accomplish this. It seemed like it was possible in earlier versions. Any ideas anyone?

Re: how do you perform these updates
Chris Mullins
Hi Ken As suggested, have a look in your System tray accessed using Windows+b. Depending on your configuration, you may or may not have all background programs displayed here as you use the arrow keys to scroll through the icons. If you land on a button described as ‘Notification chevron button’, press the spacebar, then use up arrow to navigate the overflow notification toolbar. You will find a button to launch your Java updates in here.
Cheers Chris

Hi listers ken with a question. I repeatedly get, new notifications from both java and adobe saying updates are available click here but by the time you do anything the balloon or icon is gone. the notification isn’t in the action senter on windows 10. the computer had been on for over two hours before they popped up this time. all my screen reader sees is the microsoft edge running pandora window. these are apparently critical updates. how do I get to them manually to allow the updates to install. it is only on the screen for a fraction of a second. by the time NVDA is saying click here to comtinue there is no here to click.

Re: how do you perform these updates
Following up Gene's mention of avoiding having bundled potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) installed, I cannot recommend anything more highly than Unchecky. I initially learned about this and suggested installing it only to my blind and visually impaired clients, but very quickly dropped that limitation and now recommend it to all. I use it myself so that if I get in a hurry and miss one of those checkboxes I should have unchecked it is done for me. Yes, it runs constantly as a background process, but its resource footprint is incredibly small and light. If you want to avoid PUPs, which have become so common since the scourge of endless bundling as become de rigueur, Unchecky is an excellent tool for doing so and is the PUP equivalent of an antivirus scanner.

Re: how do you perform these updates
Gene
Look in the system tray. As far as adobe
updates are concerned, I don't know what programs you receive these
notifications for. You can update Adobe Reader from within the program if
you can't from the system tray. Adobe Flash can be updated on the Flash
web site. If you are going to use the web site, let us know so we can
discuss avoiding having extra potentially unwanted programs installed when you
update.
My point is that you don't have to use help
balloons to do most things of this sort. The system tray or in the
programs themselves will usually provide options. For a lot of things,
help balloons are not exclusive. there is usually another way to do the
same things.

Re: how do you perform these updates

Sometimes you can find them by using
the action center notifications. The way I do these is to use
Ninite to get them. This is much easier and quite often, the
updater in Java will fail after downloading about 70% of the file
and it never gets to even start to install the update. The Ninite
installer works every time. Roger

Comments in Word
kelby carlson
All,
I'm having a couple of issues reading comments in a word document: First, when I arrow to a comment, it will temm me what the comment is, but pressing alt-nvda-c doesn't read the comment to me, it just says that it's there. Second, when I press nvda+f7 and arrow to comments, it doesn't show any comments in the tree view even though I know there are a number of them. Help is much appreciated.
