good evening sir i got the problem, actually the Issue is with compatibility. i mean the addon supports from nvda version 2026.1. like as you can see in the addon store here "BOA: Better Office Accessibility; Status: Enabled; Available version: 2.0.0; Channel: Stable; Publisher: MisterK; Publication date: 6/29/2026; Minimum NVDA version: 2026.1; Last tested NVDA version: 2026.1.1" minimum NVDA version required for this addon to run is 2026.1 nvda version. you can still install from the file but i am not sure about API compatibility since you are running 2024. something. if you don't have solid reason for using that version i recommend you to update NVDA, or i will share the file here you can install and try. inform me the what i can do. and a note for all: actually all default commands [hot keys] in this addon requires prefix command which is nvda plus e default to run first. in documentation for a feature i missed to include this prefix requirement.
