Re: FW: [nvda] FW: Free Webinar: The Windows Screen Reader Primer, 4th Edition Launch
And this discussion goes to show that even organizations with a focus on serving those who are blind or low vision can sometimes make mistakes as far as ease of accessibility.? I can't say that the noted page is inaccessible, but its usability could clearly be improved.

Re: FW: [nvda] FW: Free Webinar: The Windows Screen Reader Primer, 4th Edition Launch
Using JAWS 2025 and Edge, I noticed that I skipped over the country combo box if I pressed tab, but it was just past the Last Name edit field if I used down arrow. So, type your first name and last name in the boxes, then arrow down to the combo box to change the country. Then you can tab to the address line.

Yep.? Someone else asked about this on another of the groups where I posted the notice.? Just backspace out "United States" (which is filled in by default) and enter your country, or a couple of characters for same, and select from the list that appears.

Thank you for mentioning this here.

I¡¯m in Canada and just registered with no problem. Change the country to Canada by manually deleting ¡°United States¡± and typing Canada in the field, and you can then pick a province and enter your postal code. ? There are two unlabelled radio buttons on the next screen though so this form does have a couple of quirks. ? Chris ?

Re: Issue opening File Backstage View using Alt + F in Word 365.
Hi Robin, ? You¡¯re a genius! I just opened a Word .doc where I had the issue not being able to pull up the menus with alt-F. I did a Windows Key+up-arrow and whalah! Problem resolved. I was also having an issue with navigating with the up-arrow key; at a page break it was not allowing me to continue moving back up. Doing windows-key+up-arrow also corrected this issue. I¡¯m not sure how or when I might have issued a key stroke that altered the saving menu and navigation, but thank you for giving me the fix. ? Eileen ? ?

Teams update replacing Skype
In the iOS app store today, there is an update to Teams that says: Skype is retiring in May 2025. Sign in to Microsoft Teams Free with your Skype credentials, and your chats and contacts will be right where you left them. Enjoy the features you love about Skype, including free calling and messaging, as well as new features like meetings and communities, all in Teams. If you don't want to use Microsoft Teams Free, you can export your Skype data.

Re: Issue opening File Backstage View using Alt + F in Word 365.
Brian, ? When I just press the alt key alone, Jaws states ¡°menu Bar¡±, but then I cannot arrow or tab either left or right. I can only down-arrow through system settings. This behavior is very strange and only started about a week or two back when I first noticed it. As I work on this email in outlook, when I press alt here Jaws says, ¡°virtual ribbons, message tab¡± which if I recall correctly, Jaws would state ¡°virtual ribbon¡± in Word before things changed. ?

Issue opening File Backstage View using Alt + F in Word 365.
Hi All,
?
I¡¯m using MS Word that is a part of my Microsoft 365 package on a Win 11 computer using most recent version of JAWS.
?
I¡¯ve been having an issue when in a document in Word. I make changes/edits then when I attempt to get to the Save options under the file menu, I can¡¯t pull up the File menu any longer with keystroke Alt + F.? I? can only save by doing a Control+S.? Anyone have thoughts on what has happened that I can no longer pull up the menu with Alt+F anymore?
?
Thanks for any pointers.
?
Eileen

| | The Windows Screen Reader Primer?is meant to help JAWS, NVDA, and Windows Narrator users work more effectively with the most important PC applications¡ªlike Microsoft Office, email clients, and web browsers. These applications include the Windows operating system, the four primary Office Suite applications (Word, Outlook, Excel and PowerPoint), and the three most commonly used web browsers (Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Mozilla Firefox). Dropbox, OneDrive, and Google Drive for Desktop, the three most popular cloud-based file-sharing programs, are also covered.? The book is intended for both beginners and intermediate users. While all the basics are covered, those already possessing a fair amount of experience using screen reader programs in the Windows environment will find useful tools and techniques to further enhance their skills. |

Re: Microsoft Office 365 Outlook Classic
The Ctrl + Tab (and, of course, Ctrl + Shift + Tab to reverse direction) is another excellent choice.? It has a traversal cycle of:? Control Tabs List (mail, calendar, etc.), Folder Tree, Message List.? This is a technique that's new to me (we all tend to land on one we know and like, and then use it, and mine is generally F6).
?
As Alan Robbins noted, if you're in the message list for any given mailbox, hitting Ctrl + Shift + Tab will throw focus back to the Folder Tree with the current mailbox being the actual folder with focus.

Re: Microsoft Office 365 Outlook Classic
Here is what I do. Say I¡¯m in my inbox, I hit Ctrl, shift, tab and that lands me in a list of all folders in Outlook, I simply arrow down to a folder I want to delete, rename, etc. and hit applications key and arrow to the choice I want.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [M365-Accessibility] Microsoft Office 365 Outlook Clasic
?
Whatever I do, I can¡¯t seem to bring back the folder list so I can actually delete some folders.
Tried all I can find on Google etc.
F6 Doesn¡¯t go to the folder list.
Anyone have any ideas please?

Re: Microsoft Office 365 Outlook Classic
Shannon,
?
Have you tried NVDA or Narrator?? Do they behave in the same way as JAWS?? This could very well be a JAWS problem, and the easiest way to rule that in or out is to use an alternate screen reader to see if the behavior persists or does not.
