Has anyone experienced behavior where it skips pages when you press down arrows to review the document on Microsoft Word with #NVDA? Also NVDA gets super sluggish for some reason. @NVAccess
That might be what's going on because if I press right arrow, it goes to next page, but if I hit down arrow it skips. However, in my view ribbon, print layout is checked, but no side by side nor two page spread are checked. Anything else I should check?
Do you mean you press right arrow ONCE and it moves between pages - or right arrow when you're at the end of the last word on a page? It could be the zoom level - if you press alt+w to open the view ribbon, you can then press J to go to 100% zoom, or 1 to fit one full page on screen, or i to fit the width of one page on screen. Try alt+w, j or alt+w, i first and see if that helps.
Or you could try alt+x, z, y, 3, i, j and maybe something useful will happen, or maybe not. It certainly wouldn't be any less cryptic than the correct solution. 😒 #unhelpfulPost
@jcsteh I love alt+x, z, y, 3, i, j, it's one of my favourite shortcuts!
My favourite used to be on the Layout ribbon, you had to press alt+p, then j for columns, and there was another option which began with j but you had to press alt+p, then c. They changed it now, but there are still 21 options on that ribbon (note, fewer than the number of letters in the alphabet) yet only FIVE of them use a single letter. At least the other four use the logical single letter (eg M for Margin), but J?
@jcsteh I can't stand the ribbon. Every time I have to use them I end up floundering around for a sec like I don't know what I'm doing, even though as of next month I will have been using Windows based PCs for 26 years.
@jcsteh @KaraLG84 I once asked @ednun_p to tell me how to do... Something with ribbons in word and the response was a 55-page manual of the keystrokes necessary. I died a lot inside at that point. They just don't get any better.
@jcsteh lol. I'm buggered if they expect me to remember any of those alt, f, u, c, k, i, n, g, shortcuts. I'm just glad they let you still use the old ones. I needed to do a word count the other day so I did alt+T and w like it was Office 95 not 365.
@KaraLG84 @jcsteh Ironically it's keeping backward compatibility with thirty year old keystrokes whch is part of the problem. Looking at the main ribbons in Word:
Home H Insert N (not i) Draw JI (???) Design G (not d) Layout P (Not L… because Developer is?) References S (Review is r) Mailings M Review R View W (Not V) Developer L Help Y2 (Can’t be H because “Home” uses it)
@KaraLG84 Yeah, I know that was the intention, but in practice, it just doesn't actually work. It breaks muscle memory enough that they may as well have just gone, screw it, we're going to break everyone completely, but at least the new system might be internally consistent. Instead, we have alt, b, r, 0, k, 3, n.
@jcsteh I think alt, h is the only one I can remember. At least the very bizarre file menu' is still alt+f. If I can't remember one of the old shortcuts I use alt+q and search for the command I want with that.
@jcsteh When I came across PowerPoint for the first time back then I actually thought it had something to do with the power supply, so I was scared to open it for ages in case I broke something.
