Thank you Tom. I hadn't started looking for solutions as yet so I'll be following your ideas first up. i'll let you know the results. Cheers.

Re: Apps that can be uninstalled
I agree with what you're saying, David, but with one exception. I have always kept my apps to an absolute minimum and run very few. But the WE Diag app does have it uses beyond sending reports. It has the ability to refresh accessibility libraries and repair the Windows 10 display driver. And these were the first things I thought of when I read Ian's message.

Re: Window-Eyes error messages
Hello Tom. When I click on the "details" button there is often nothing under the details button. Other times saying that a problem occurred during start up preventing Window-Eyes from working. I am using the latest Window-Eyes and Windows 10, exactly the same system you are using. I mentioned the error messages because they are only recent, last 2 weeks or so. Cheers.

Re: Window-Eyes error messages
Besides, sending error reports, is nothing but useless. the error reports that would go to the developing team of the screen reader, will likely end up in a non-attended mailbox, and all your efforts are good for nothing. The error reporting system for apps that generate an error report, has long been known to have issues. I have NEVER got any reports from users, who used the built-in reporting system, whenever my apps generated any errors. It was called to GW's attention a few times, but they never got it fully sorted. And the servers for forwarding the reports to the app developer, might not necessarily be all that operative any longer. My best advice, would be to ignore all error reporting, and turn off any such feature. Should you encounter error messages, please report them on the list, and chances are that someone here has a fix for you. Even if you don't fill in any extra comments on the error report, simply just sending it, does generate net traffic, and will benefit NOONE.

Re: MICROSOFT WORD TYPEOVER?
Not sure I understand your query correct. But If you have a Word document, with a line of underlines, or maybe dots, where you want to fill in say your name and address or the like. Yes, that is fully possible. 1. place your cursor at the first of the characters you want replaced, like the first underline character. 2. Hit the bypas (Insert-B), followed by only the Insert-key. WinEyes will announce "Overwrite". 3. Type in your information. The underline characters will be overwritten, or replaced, with the characters you type in. . Again, hit the Insert-B, followed by only Insert, and WinEyes will announce you have gone back to "insert" mode; which is the default mode. Have filled in several forms in Word 2007, this way, and never heard any complaint they would be anything but readable. Hope I understood, and managed to answer, your query. If not, my apologize.
