Hi Brian.
When you first start Microsoft Word, NVDA defaults to focus mode so
that you can type text. If you press NVDA+Space, the tone you hear is
that of browse mode. This is where keys like H for heading and K for
link will work, but unless specified, other keys will not go through.
Pressing NVDA+Space will go back to focus mode, so you can type h, k,
etc. again.
If you want to hear 'browse mode' and 'focus mode' when you press the
keystroke, go to the Browse mode dialog and uncheck the Audio
indication of focus and browse mode option.
That second issue is strange. NVDA should behave properly in this
regard. You might want to ensure that you are not in protected mode,
however.

Hello All,

I am trying to work a bit more with Browse Mode and Focus Mode,
particularly in the context of an MS-Word document, which is giving me more
than a bit of trouble as far as wrapping my head around what I should be
doing.

One of the first things I'm trying to determine is what mode goes
with what cueing sound. When you hit NVDA+space to switch modes, where and
when you can switch them, one sound is a chime and the other is an
electronic "cheep" of sorts. Which sound indicates which mode? I was
expecting a verbal cue like "browse mode on" or "focus mode on" but that's
not what I'm getting.

Also, I have a 52-page MS-Word document that's chock full of
hyperlinks. When I'm in what I believe is browse mode and I hit NVDA+F7 I
get the announcement regarding the Elements List, but no dialog box appears
like it does if I'm trying the same thing in a webpage. I thought I would
be able to get a set of links showing like I do if I'm in Chrome or Firefox
looking at a webpage, but instead listing all the links within the document,
but the dialog box never appears even though it's announced.

I'm using NVDA 2016.1 and Microsoft Word 2010 running on a
Windows 10 Home, 64-bit machine. Any guidance or assistance would be much
appreciated.

Brian

That sounds to me like a missing or corrupt video driver.  As a temporary workaround, you could run the NVDA installer and make a portable instalation.  Then use the portable instalation to check the status of your drivers and once that's fixed you could re-install a local copy.

Or am I doing something wrong.
Hello to all. Last night I tried to reinstall webvisum, as I have
just baught a new computer. When ever I press the install link, the
notifaction to allow firefox to install the addon comes. I've tried
pressing alt+a several times, and I've tried pressing the space bar or
enter when it seems that I'm on the allow button, nothing works.
I don't remember seeing any other complaints about this from anyone,
so is it only me getting something so basic wrong?

Any suggestions?
Ali

If you are using newer version of a Firefox it will not allow to install the said addons. From the time Firefox update to 43 and newer that there is some security features being added into it. I would suggest to use an old version to get it and successful installation from your end. But, there is an option in order to accept it but its is quite not secure and it will void the security if you made some modification in the setup of firefox. I believe somewhere here also, mentioned here the steps for it.

I have this installed and found that over the past several days it
failed to work. However it appears to be functioning today.

One way to make sure that you don't get any adware when installing programs is to use Unchecky. It worked very well, and it manages to auto-deselect EA Download Manager/Origin when installing Sims 3 and other programs that have bundles. The installer is accessible, I tried with Jaws but NVDA should work too.
