Recognising highlighted text in word document by NVDA
|
Akshaya Choudhary
Can NVDA recognise highlighted text in a document? And can it be navigated as swiftly as we navigate other elements in browse mode? Like jumping from heading to heading.
This function is especially required for word. Cheers

Hi there, While there isn't an NVDA command for this, it is possible in Word: 1) Press CONTROL+H (This is the replace command, but it ensures the dialog opens, rather than the task pane) 2) Press ALT+M to activate the "More" button to show more options (if already activated the button becomes "Less" and alt+m doesn't do anything further). 3) Press ALT+O to open the Format button / menu. 4) Press H to select "Highlight". (Note this is a toggle, so if you follow all these steps again it will turn off looking for highlighted text). 5) Press ALT+F to find the next piece of highlighted text. 6) Press ESCAPE to exit the find / replace dialog. The text will be selected. You can read it with NVDA+SHIFT+UP ARROW or NVDA+SHIFT+S to read the selected text or navigate and edit as desired. 7) Press CONTROL+PAGE DOWN to move to the next piece of highlighted text or CONTROL+PAGE UP to move to the previous piece of highlighted text. There is more on using Find in the Microsoft Word with NVDA eBook, available for $30 Australian from https://www.nvaccess.org/product/microsoft-word-training-for-nvda-ebook/ Regards Quentin.
