autocorrect in Word 365
|
Hi all,
I occasionally use smiley face and winking smiley face, :) and ;) respectively, but when I do in Word it automatically converts them to what NVDA says is “12” (that's what I hear and that's what the speech viewer says). It does this for both versions of the smiley. I have just added :) and ;) into the exceptions of the autocorect options and it is not making any difference. I do use the NVDA emoticons addin so am confused why I am hearing the number 12 rather than the type of face. Also, I'm a bit of a gek for old school ascii emoticons so would prefer to stick to them being a colon and a right parenthesis rather than a graphical smiley face. I'm using the latest NVDA, Windows 10 and Office 365 Grateful for any suggestions :) Giles

Hi Giles, It looks like there are a couple of issues here: 1) Emoji not reading properly. I wonder if that is related to this issue: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/8782 which would explain the emoji being read as a number. It looks like there has been some work done on that issue, but it still needs a little more attention before going into Alpha builds. The other issue is that of Word replacing :) with a smiley emoticon: 😊 - rather than adding an exception in to auto-correct, you should be able to delete the existing auto-correction: alt+f, t for Options control+tab twice to "Proofing" alt+a for "Autocorrect options" down arrow to the smiley options, :(, :-(, etc. Pick any and press alt+d to delete Regards Quentin.
