UIA for MS Office Word - Footnotes issue

evkolovou@...
 

Greetings, everyone!

I have a case of a Word document (MS Office 2016 version) with footnotes that restart numbering (1, 2 and so on) at each unit section. I have been advised in the past to keep UIA enabled to access Microsoft Word document controls in order to listen to NVDA read footnotes properly.
Nevertheless, if I select the default option "where suitable" or "only when necessary", NVDA keeps reading the footnotes numbering continuously and doesn't restart numbering for each separate unit.
If I select the "Always" option when enabling UIA, then footnotes are totally ignored by NVDA!
Any ideas on how to fix this or someone pointing out what I might be doing in the wrong way?
My PC runs on Windows 10 and I have installed the most recent NVDA version (Greek language, using WIndows OneCore voice "Stefanos").
I am terribly sorry for bothering you for something like this, but I am actually a novice user of NVDA, so I'm still trying to find my way around things.

Thank you in advance!
Evi

Hi all.

The enhancements of UiA Automation in Word are in recent versions of Microsoft Office. So, for users that do not have a subscription to Microsoft 365, I recommend use Microsoft Office 2021 if it is possible, for have a better experience with UIA Support.

Regards.
