Hi, I just got here and thanks for letting me in. Is Open Office and Libra Office the same thing? Some years ago, I tried to use open office and had no success. Just now I installed Libra Office on my

How and where would one find and edit the Pronounciation Dictionary in NVDA? I would prefer my computer to say TXT and not change it to say text. I've grown so used to it over the years, I'd like it b

Hi all, I've downloaded weather_plus4.5.nvda-addon and now I don't know what to do with it. It doesn't seem to be an archive (.zip, .rar) or an executable (.exe or .com) It has no extention to tell me

Thanks Sarah, I must be pretty dense; the closest thing I can find to "add ons" is reload plug-ins under "tools". Where should I be looking? Thank you. Howard

OK Sarah, thanks. Am I stupid! I didn't know that this machine still had NVDA version 2011.1. On my newer machine, I think I can figure it out. Thank you for your patience. Howard

Well, Thanks be to both who have tried to help. I have now updated my NVDA and there is a "manage add-ons" in the tools menu. And, for now, I'm on my way. Thanks. Howard

Don't know that this thread is appropriate for this list, but: I also wonder what client, and what server still has usenet lists? Thanks. Howard

Yes, please tell us what was the problem and the fix. Thank you. Howard

I have used braille with jaws for the last 20 years. I still have the old displays and would like to use them with my NVDA. Is anyone using the powerbraille or alva displays with nvda? I'd like to kno

I'm using NVDA 2017.3, but the user guide says 2017.1. Updating didn't seem to update the user guide. In the Preferences, general menu dialog, there is no automatic startup checkbox as described in th

My mistake. I thought I updated but the "about" button tells me I'm still in version 1. I'll try the update again. Howard

OK, Well, sorry for all this. I got 2017.3 and now the start automatically boxes are there. Sure wish it hadn't taken away my addons and configguration. But all is well now. And thanks anyway. Howard

Is there a trick way to search for a word or phrase in a page or document? I thought it might be just control f but it seems not? Thanks. Howard

Thanks Antony, Right now, firefox comes up to read the NVDA user guide. Using the firefox find command, control f, gives me the search dialog, I put in the word ("search" in this case) and tab to the

Thanks, Chris. I'll give that a try. Howard

Before I updated my NVDA, I got a series of ascending tones while getting mail, downloading, and other operations. The update took it away. Can't seem to find a place in the menus where I can get it b

Thank you Chris! You're a big help. It worked, of course. Howard

Is anyone using NVDA with an older Braille Display? I have a couple of powerBrailles (a 40 and an 80) and an ALVA ABT-380. It seems that some of you might be using BrlTTY to drive your displays? I won

Yes, the ABT-380 uses serial and parallel. For now, I'm still ok on that one. It's on an old win XP machine and I can use an old version of jaws. . My win 10 machine will need to use my powerbraille 8

The last few JAWS releases did not support the powerbrailles in serial. So, one had to get a parallel cable to use jaws. Newer computers no longer have parallel ports. Now, it seems that NVDA does not
