says absolutely nothing. I tried numpad arrow twice quickly and it spells the word but again doesn't let me arrow through the word by carricter. Do you know why the capslock arrow key doesn't work like it did in NVDA 15? Also in NVDA 16.1 doesn't the NVDA shift z work? Have they changed the key sequence? -----Original Message-----

I don't know how different versions of Microsoft
Word display such material. It used to be displayed in a list and you
could not left and right arrow to spell just as you can't in a list of file and
folder names. Use numpad 1 to move backward and numpad 3 to move
forward. These are screen review commands. I don't know if you would
benefit from using screen review commands anywhere else but you might benefit
from learning basic commands.
Numpad 1 is move back to and read previous
character. 2 is read current character. 3 is move to and read next
character.
Numpad 4 5 and 6 are the same for
word.
7 8 and 9 are the same for line.

Don't hold NVDA down when pressing 1.

The reason NVDA shift z and NVDA arrows and such aren't working, I suspect, is because you're using the desktop keyboard layout. Please do the following: 1. Go to the NVDA menu, Preferences, Keyboard, or press CTRL+NVDA+k. 2. Select laptop in the Keyboard layout combo box, then press enter. Does it work now? On 3/14/2016 7:43 PM, Zoe Fiogkos wrote:

I don't know why you are getting those
results. What you are hearing doesn't match how NVDA is supposed to
work. If you hold the numpad insert and press numpad 1, you should hear
something about no more review modes if you are in the last mode you can move
back to. But if the numpad insert were being held or were stuck on, you
shouldn't be able to use f5 to spell the current word. That command
requires that numpad insert not be on.
As I said, I don't know what the problem is but why
not try a portable copy either of the current version of NVDA or of the last
version that worked properly? It's always a good idea to have a portable
version of an earlier version of NVDA that worked
properly on your machine. Every time you upgrade, there is a risk of
something not working properly and if you keep a portable version that worked
properly, you can run it when you need it and try to solve the problem with the
new version of NVDA if you wish but still be able to do what you
want.
I don't know if this is an NVEDA problem or
something else. Testing with a portable version of the last version of
NVDA that worked properly will tell you. If it works properly, it's an
NVDA problem and you may want to try completely uninstalling and reinstalling
NVDA. If the portable version no longer works properly, then your problem
is something else.
Someone else will tell you how to completely
uninstall NVDA if you need to know. I've never done it and don't have the
description that has been given on the list on my computer.

Are you reading line by line using the up and down
arrows or moving in some other way such as by word? I don't use the laptop
layout so I won't tell you how to set punctuation because I don't know if the
laptop commands are the same. But the answer, whichever keyboard layout
you are using depends in part on how you are moving.

Line by line using the arrow keys. It’s really annoying to here NVDA say dot everytime it encounters a period

Press NVDA+p to cycle through the available symbol levels. From lowest to highest, they are: None, some, most, all. Each level reads more punctuation characters than the one before it. On 3/14/2016 8:01 PM, Zoe Fiogkos wrote:

I all ready did that it's set to none. Yet still here NVDA saying dot whenever it encounters a period. It doesn't do it with commas or question marks just with periods

Did you adjust your punctuation settings perhaps?

NVDA menu, Preferences, Punctuation/symbol pronunciation. In the list, hit . (the period key). You should hear: . sentence ending; Replacement: dot; Level: all; Preserve: always Press it again, you should hear: .; Replacement: dot; Level: some; Preserve: never If those aren't set correctly, set them that way using the combo boxes after them.
