fields don't read when creating a distribution list in winword
|
Steps:
I’m using nvda 2020.3 and Windows 10 20H2 (64-bit) build 19042.867. I tried object nav, screen review and clicking into the fields, but so far I can’t get these things to read when tabbing.
Thanks.

There is no way these labels can be accessed - they don't work with any
screen reader. You best bed would be to create a distribution list in MS Excel. I can't give you specific instructions as last time I needed to do this was ages ago but the process was relatively easy. -- Regards Lukasz

Did you try with and without UIA enabled?
(NVDA+n, p, s, a, tab, space, tab several times until you reach it, space, enter.)

I'll google on how to do this. I read an article on Microsoft's help page but I was even more confused. It's a shame those fields will never be able to read. And when I try and use outlook I get "no tables found" even though I have over 900 contacts in there. Oh well. I'll investigate this further. -- Sarah Alawami, owner of TFFP. .

I very much doubt it will work. I think I have UIA disabled anyway. -- Sarah Alawami, owner of TFFP. . For more info go to our website.

Exporting Contacts to CSV generally works well, and you use the CSV file for the merge.

Yeah I just created the spreadsheet by hand. It was easy enough to do, then connected the list. I didn't send the messages, but let me let you know, they will be in your outbox and they will send. One day maybe those fields will read, it's too bad they will not. Blessings. -- Sarah Alawami, owner of TFFP. . For more info go to our website.
