Hello! Yesterday I tried to install Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Plus, and found out that the custom setup window isn't read correctly by Window-Eyes. Doing a Google search on this topic brought up an NVDA bug report that described a similar problem, and a message from the beginning of this year that was sent to this list that talked about this issue in the beta-version of Office 2010. Is this a known problem in the final version too, and if so, is there a solution? Just to be clear, I mean the screen that appears when you click the Customize-button when installing Office. It usually appears after accepting the license agreement. That screen is divided into different tabs. Window-Eyes recognizes these tab controls, but it doesn't speak the tab's title (although you can get to that information using a braille display or the mouse hotkeys). Window-Eyes also displays the contents of the treeview where you can choose which components to install, but it looks completely garbled, and you don't seem to be able to interact with the treeview elements or get their status. I use Window-Eyes on Windows 7, but I also went back to Windows XP and gave SuperNova a try. It kept putting the focus back on one particular control, and it saw at least three different windows at once. JAWS did considerably better, in fact the setup was sort of usable, although JAWS also blended individual lines into one garbled phrase.
Any help or information will be appreciated! Thanks, Davy If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
