I am really pleased with it. I can?t imagine ever going back to JAWS. There are some video tutorials available on the NVDA website but you have to buy them.

I use a table in Word 2007, and after adding a line to my budget, I need to go to the bottom and change the line numbers, which are in a field box.  The field opens up, like it did on my windows 7 machine, but I can?t change the line numbers because NVDA doesn?t speak what?s in the field.  So, I need help with that. So if anyone knows about that, I?d appreciate it, or how to ask NVDA how to do it.  I know it?s not common to use word 2007 with windows 10, but I paid for it and feel I should be able to use it.  It works well, except for that issue.
