Microsoft word question

Is there a way to fine out what line you are on in your document?
In Jaws when you press insert/caps lock plus period it tells you the line number you are on. Thanks 73 N2DYN Angelo |

The only way to do this in NVDA is to check the check box for line numbers in document formatting. Go to NVDA menu> preferences> document formatting> check box for line numbers.

Hi
Not sure about a shortcut for reporting which line you are on but there is a setting under document formatting called line numbers which would need to be checked to report a line. There may be a setting under the input gestures in nvda.
Just checked and there is and it looks as though you can asign a key for it to to toggle it on and off. Not some thing i have used for a long time. So not sure when it is on it says the number but guess it would and when off you do not hear it at all.
Gene nz that may allow you to assign one? On 13/10/2018 10:27 PM, Angelo Sonnesso wrote:

Hi,
Microsoft Word does display the line number on the status bar. You can read the status bar with NVDA and get that information. Please see the following link for details on Word's line number display. https://word.tips.net/T001412_What_Line_Am_I_On.html You do not need to enable NVDA's reporting of line numbers. Pranav |

And how do we jump to the status bar?

See the topic, word count in MS word document, in the JAWS for Windows group for a discussion of several different ways to get to the status bar.

You can always use Alt+r, W to obtain a word count.

I appreciated Rui's comment/question. Most of us here are not part of any JFW groups and would not easily access them as resources.

He provided a link to the topic in question though. It's archived; you don't have to be a part of the list. You don't even have to be a JAWS user.

Because I'm so well known for offering material that the intended audience can't actually get to. Uh huh.
Why retype material that's just been covered elsewhere a couple of days ago when you can just click through and read it? C'mon, (some) people, think - and give me the credit that I have demonstrated I deserve! -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1809, Build 17763 The terrible state of public education has paid huge dividends in ignorance.

Hi,
Use the f6 key to cycle between the document and the status bar. I do not know of a hotkey to read it but this may be a good feature request. Pranav |

Often, just because a resource is for JAWS doesn't
mean it can't be used by other screen-reader users. If this material
contains JAWS specific commands, then you may not be able to use those
commands. But if there are equivalent commands in NVDA and you know them
or learn them, then you may be able to use the information. Or the
information may not be JAWS specific or some or much of it may not. Just
because a JAWS source is given doesn't mean it can't be used. And if JAWS
commands are given, you can ask if there are equivalents on the list.
In this case, I didn't look at the material and I
don't know what information is given so I can't comment on the usefulness of the
material. But it shouldn't be assumed to be useless. I would suggest
reading it to find out.

As I said, the hotkey is NVDA+End.

But using that command reads the entire status bar
and it is very difficult, if possible at all, to pick out that one number from
all the other information. However, if you read the status line, that
moves the NVDA review location to the status line. So, if you figure out
what order the information is presented, you can review the line item by item
and determine the number.

I should say that the information is there but you
may have to experiment to see just how to get to it. I have Word Starter,
which is not the newest version of Word. I found, when playing with the
status line after writing my previous message in the thread, that it may move up
a number of lines from the bottom. If the read status line reads the
bottom line and it isn't the status line, moving up should find it. I also
find that information isn't necessarily presented in a proper manner. Read
the line a bit at a time, perhaps character by character in some places. I
found that at times, in my version, the number of words is followed by another
number and then a space. So I might se 101 which means ten words and then
the number 1. I'm not sure what the number 1 is referring to. It may
refer to the page I'm on but I didn't try to figure it out. My point is
that the information is there if you figure out how to read it.
Someone has already told you another way to get a
word count and that would be easier to use if it matches the procedure in your
version. But you may want or need, for some reason, to use the status line
for this or other information. and its good to know about it just from a
standpoint of equality. If sighted people have this resource and they find
it useful, why shouldn't blind people know about it? You don't have to
know everything a sighted person knows or sees in a program but there are
certain features that it may be useful to know about.
Programs that still have status lines may have
useful information in the status line and it is a good idea to look for a status
line in various programs. At times, useful information is not found in a
traditional status line, by which I mean at the bottom of a screen or there may
not be one. but, for example, in MP3 Direct Cut, the program gives you
useful information in a line near the top of the page. When the program is
recording, it says, writing and then gives the path and filename of the file it
is writing to. That keeps you from issuing the record command and not
knowing if the program is recording. That line also gives information
about how far, by minutes and seconds, you are into the file when you are
playing or editing it.
My overall point is that unless people start
looking around using review keys in programs where they aren't getting enough
information in other ways, they may be significantly limiting the accuracy
and/or convenience of use of the program.

Easiest way to read status line in any application that has one
is NVDA-KEY+END. On 10/14/2018 2:01 PM, Brian Vogel
