- I don't think anyone, least of all me, would argue against this. It really is an issue of where it belongs. And I don't care what organization might be producing such documentation, either. It's com

I haven't looked at screen-reader user guides for a long time. My recollection is that in the past, they described Windows enough to allow someone to use it in basic ways such as describing how to wor

Yep, I've recently learned more about the ribbons, finally, and honestly my fear of them based on comments I've heard for years was worse than actually learning to find things in them. I'm not yet com

Just to throw my own 2c in here on some of the raised points: - I agree, and I would say it is our official NV Access policy that the User Guide is primarily for NVDA features (and thus generally only

Hi Rui, Do you know if LO is accessible to Orka on Linux? Do you know if LO is written in Java? Russ

- And even though this is absolutely true, NVDA documentation should not focus on Windows commands, either. Of course some will come up incidentally as you can't divorce a piece of software, in this c

Thanks and will do!

Windows is universal to all NVDA users. Excel, Word, Thunderbird, pick whichever application you want, are not used by every NVDA user! There is basic training available for Excel from NV Access. Go b

Hi, Having produced documentation and tutorials (including editing the user guide myself), I think it would be better to talk about Excel commands in Excel training module (from NV Access) or a dedica
