Hello Walter:

?

NVDA has a series of ebooks on many of the Office products (Word, Excel, Power Point, and Outlook). While these trainings are focused on using these products with the NVDA screen reader, many of the shortcut keys and subject areas are described such that they can be applied using other screen readers. Each tutorial costs about $25 US and there are even bundles that lump these materials together along with technical support. Below is a link to the Word training.

?

Sample chapters are available for free via a link on the above mentioned page so you can see the style of the training.

I don't know if I've actually seen this behavior specifically with JAWS and Outlook. However, when I open Web sites in my Web browser JAWS often doesn't provide me with the Web site in its virtual buffer. This often happens when the browser first loads. It's as if I'm stuck in a kind of limbo and I usually press the tab key which forces JAWS to render the Web page correctly, allowing navigation to function as I would expect. I'm just wondering if something similar is happening with Outlook messages. You could try pressing the alt key twice. The first press of the alt key moves focus away from the message to the ribbon and the second press of the alt key returns focus back to the message itself. I know that I've seen similar things happen with NVDA where it doesn't so much go silent when a window opens but it doesn't seem to know where it is and forcing the application to quickly change focus away from and back to the window helps it to take a second look, so to speak, and things are back to normal. I'm wondering if this technique might also work with JAWS?

I experience regular silences in JAWS 2020 also, but I’m not sure it is just in outlook.

Try running Narator (control-windows-enter) and give it up to 10 seconds sometimes that kick starts the speech again. If that works, then just toggle Narator off again .

Just a trick I stumbled on that often works.

Re: Welcome to Our New Members To This New List

Rick,

I'm agreeable to discussion of any application that is technically a part of Office, whether it's Office Home and Student or Office Professional. Admittedly, Onenote tends to blur the lines between Office and Windows 10 since there are two versions of Onenote but I'm fine talking about that. Teams does technically integrate with Office and, if I'm going to be consistent with my own guidelines, I should permit it since it's now part of Microsoft 365 so discussion of Teams is totally fine. There is a separate Teams list which I created, probably before I realized that Teams was going to be considered part of Office or at least part of Microsoft 365, which is technically Office plus Teams and another application. Teams questions is totally fine but for anyone who wants a dedicated Teams list you can subscribe by sending an email to

[email protected]

Teams is a program that I sometimes feel like I'm living in during my work life so I'm happy to answer Teams questions either here or on the Teams list. I'd rather not deal with Skype on this particular list since it's technically not part of Office.

Hello:

?

It appears that Outlook is not set as your default email application. You may need to adjust your settings. To open the default application settings, press the Windows key and enter “default.” Choose default apps and press enter. This will open the default apps settings. Tab until you find the email choice and change it to Outlook.

?

Regarding deleting a message, are you pressing delete in the table view of the messages or in an open dialog displaying the message. The delete key only works in the table view.

Re: [EXTERNAL] [office-accessibility] How to work with comments in word

#87

Hello List:

Comments are a powerful feature of Microsoft Word. In my job and personal work, I use them almost every day. The following describes what you can do with comments using Office 365 on a Windows platform. Some of the behaviors may not be available in Office 2016 or earlier.

Comments can be added, edited, deleted, replied to, resolved, and reopened.

Word has two ways to visually display comments. The default is to display them in balloons, which visually appear on the right side of a document. The text in the document associated with the comment has some visual shading and a line from that text links it to the balloon. Another method is a separate window which can be to the right of the document or below the document where comments are displayed out of context.

Both NVDA and JAWS indicate the presence of a comment as the text of the document is navigated. Neither will indicate if any replies exist. If the cursor moves into text associated with a comment they will announce that a comment is present. If the Application key is now pressed, choices will be provided to Edit the comment, delete the comment, reply to the comment, or resolve the comment. If the comment is already resolved, the last choice will be to reopen the comment instead of resolve the comment. Only the initial comment can be managed this way. Navigating to replies is described later in this document. If you delete a comment that has replies, the comment and all replies will be deleted. No indication that replies are being deleted will be offered.

To add a comment, two keystroke combinations are provided by Word (Alt+r, followed by c, which has already been mentioned in this thread,  or Control+Alt+m). I prefer the latter. Note, these are Word shortcuts and work with all screen readers. When you press either of these combination, you will be in a text field where you can edit the comment directly. When done, press the ESC key to return to editing the document.

Word, not your screen reader,  offers additional shortcut keys to navigate the comments in a document. Alt+r followed by n will navigate to the next comment in the document while Alt+r followed by v will navigate to the previous comment in the document. Each of these shortcuts will place you in the comment, so you can edit the comment directly, if desired. Pressing the ESC key will place you back in the document. Pressing Alt+r followed by n will navigate to the next comment, which will be the first reply, if one exists, or the next comment in the document if no replies exist.

Word provides the ability to reply to comments. All replies are to the original comment. Even if you are in a reply, replying will be threaded to the original comment and not to the reply. JAWS treats all replies as a reply while NVDA treats them as levels with the initial comment at level 0.

Another feature of comments in Word is the ability to resolve a comment. Comments are typically marked as resolved when the content of the comment has been incorporated into the document or the thread indicates it is not needed. To resolve a comment, the cursor needs to be either in the text associated with a comment or the cursor needs to be in the comment text. Press the application key and choose resolve comment. Resolving the original comment will set all replies to resolved as well. If a reply is selected instead, only the reply will be marked as resolved. If someone disagrees with the resolution, the comment can be reopened, again using the application key and choosing reopen. Typically, if someone chooses to reopen a comment, additional replies should be added to indicate why the comment has been reopened.

Neither NVDA nor JAWS indicates if a comment is in the resolved state. Right now, the only way to determine if a comment is resolved for a screen reader user is to press the application key and if the options offer resolve comment, it is not resolved, and if the option offers reopen, the comment is resolved.

Visually, resolved comments are compressed, showing only one line and are visually dimmed. Comments are also compressed if many are present on the same page of a document. This caused a problem (where the screen readers spoke a bunch of garbage) with earlier versions of JAWS and NVDA and even in the latest version of NVDA,  UAI Automation needs to be checked (in the advanced settings) to avoid this problem.

NVDA provides similar functionality already described in this thread for JAWS for working with comments. If the mode is changed from edit to browse (NVDA+space), pressing NVDA+F7 will open the elements dialog. Unlike Jaws, which has individual dialogs for items like links, headings, and comments, NVDA merges these all into a single dialog and allows the user to choose which to display by selecting an appropriate radio button. NVDA also combines comments and tracked changes into a single list called annotations. Also, while in browse mode, single key navigation using the 'a' key will move to the next annotation while Shift+a will move to the previous annotation.

Besides the technical mechanics of working with comments as described above, there are also many philosophies of how to manage comments. In the various consortiums that I work with, each has their own rules on comment creation and resolution. It is important for any author, editor, or reviewer to understand the expectations of how comments will be managed relative to documents. Often, these are described in some policy or procedure. In one of the consortiums that I work, there is a document describing how comments should be managed. For example, only the original author of a comment can delete that comment. Anyone can reply to a comment. Only the editor of a document can create content that addresses a comment and can then set the comment to resolved. It is critical that all parties understand how to manage comments, especially when the editor is not the original author of a document.

Because I spend a significant portion of my day creating, editing, and reviewing documents, many years ago I created an Excel spreadsheet to extract comments from Word documents and placing them (out of context) into an Excel spreadsheet. I am impressed, that even after 15 years, this macro still runs without need for modification. Kudus, Microsoft! This out of context list adds fields not present in screen reader lists, such as the associated text, whether the comment is resolved, page and line number, etc. Visual Basic for applications (VBA) macros were created to perform this function and many aspects of comments are provided beyond what screen readers provide. I am willing to share this automated spreadsheet to anyone who contacts me off list, but you will need to be comfortable running VBA macros, which involves enabling the developer tab on the ribbon. Also, I would request that you do not distribute to others, but have them contact me if they would desire a copy. Of course, I would also appreciate any feedback or problems encountered.

Thanks for this thread. I too am working with a potential employer which may require document commenting, and also accepting and rejecting and suggesting changes via Track Changes. I'm using Word 2016; that said, Alt + R followed by C works well to make comments, and Control + Shift + Apostrophe or alt + R followed by N to find the list of comments, as the others said.

Ctrl+shift+Once I

To delete or edit comments, I can go to the comment, then hit the

Good morning,
I am using jaws 2020, and Microsoft word with office 365. Recently, I 
have begun working with a potential employer, and they use more 
advanced techniques with word. For instance, they create Google 
documents and insert comments into them. I am to read the comments, 
and make necessary corrections based on the comments. I know that 
control, shift,‘ brings up a list of the comments, but I don’t know 
how to navigate to each one individually. For instance, like in 
jaws,when you bring up a links list, you can move to a specific link. 
Can you do that with comments? Also, how do you delete a comment that 
you didn’t need to make? Also, what is the proper procedure for adding 
comment? And, finally, is there a way to view the comments as they 
appear in the text, instead of it saying has comments? Or, is there a special way to view them?
I know, a lot of questions my first time out, but I would like to get 
this figured out as soon as possible. Thank you!

Conscdering that I was able to get a fully edited transcript turned around on an AppleVis podcast in a few days, I'd say they are not working very hard to make it happen. We make noprofit off of anything we do. The going rate for professional transcription is roughly $75 an audio hour. I guess we now know how little equal access is worth monitarily. Quite sad, isn't it? I've also noticed Hadley doesn't have an issue providing them either.

Have you activated the "Add" button so that you can specify which attributes you want JAWS to speak in a different voice? If you tab through the dialog you should encounter an "Add" button. Activate this button and you should encounter various check boxes for specific attributes.
