[Trainer-Talk] Question: NVDA Silent When First Opening and Saving a Document in Word 2013 and 2016

[Lisa Salinger]

David,
I don't know if there is an open ticket, but I have experienced the same
things here, running Win 10 Anniversary, NVDA, and Office 2016.

Subject: [Trainer-Talk] Question: NVDA Silent When First Opening and Saving
a Document in Word 2013 and 2016

I posted the following message on the NVDA discussion list. I've chosen to
repost it here to see if other fellow a.t. trainers have experienced similar
behavior, either on your machines or with users who you support.


The observation I'd like to ask about occurs on my desktop PC running
Windows 10 Anniversary Edition but I also notice similar behavior on a
Windows 7 laptop. The desktop has Office 2016 installed and the laptop has
Office 2013.

When I first open Word NVDA is often silent, rather than speaking the title
of the program which has gained focus. In other words, the expected behavior
is that, once Word opens and gains focus, NVDA would verify this by speaking
the title of the window, such as "document 1, Microsoft Word." However, when
opening Word after the system has booted this does not happen. NVDA is
silent and pressing insert+T just reads "winword." At this point, if I move
focus away from and then back to the document window NVDA reads the title as
expected. As an example, if I press the alt key once to move to the ribbon
and then a second time to return to the document I will hear "Document 1,
Microsoft Word." 
Subsequent attempts to open Word usually cause NVDA to behave as expected
and the title of the document window is automatically spoken.

Along the same lines, I see similar behavior when attempting to save a
document by pressing ctrl+S. When I press this key, the "save" dialog loads
but NVDA is totally silent. If I press the alt key twice, NVDA then confirms
that I am in the dialog. Another NVDA user brought this up during a recent
computer users' group that I moderate and so I decided to post these
experiences to this group to see if others have observed similar behavior.
I'm wondering if an open ticket exists for this bug on Github.
