Hi Tom,
It's weird alright, but it works that way. Smile.
Thanks,
Rod

I've always used the Window-Eyes Insert-S, select Dropbox, and Alt-R to
open the context menu. However it is a little strange in that when I do
so it says "press enter to open the Dropbox menu." But obviously it's
not a big deal.

Tom

Richard,
Unfortunately, there are variations in the Dropbox interface that were
dependent upon the version. For a while, I avoided updating Dropbox
because
new versions were worse. Mostly, though, I feel I am best off with the
current version and that might be worth a look.
Having said that, though, there were versions of Dropbox that did not
respond to Windows keystrokes when in the system tray, only responding to
mouse clicks. You may have one of those versions. Routing your mouse to
the Dropbox icon and then left clicking might open up the menu for you.
Also, using the Window-Eyes interface to the system tray, INSERT S, might
be
easier. Since I don't have one of the versions of Dropbox that act this
way, I can't tell you for certain whether you should left click or right
click, but maybe this will get you started.
Best regards,
Steve Jacobson

Steve, in my Windows 7, DropBox doesn't work that way in the System Tray.
I've also gone to the list of programs in the start menu and tried to find
preferences there, but without success. Are you aware of any other way to
get to preferences? Thanks.

If you go to dropbox preferences on your computer, not on their website,
there is an option to "Show Dropbox Badge." You may also hear the word
"Down" indicating that you press the DOWN ARROW to change the option.
Change this preference to "Never." For me, that eliminated all of the
problems with Word and Excel files in my Dropbox folder. I get to
preferences by finding Dropbox in the system tray, pressing SPACE which
brings up a menu, and then DOWN ARROW until I get to Preferences.
Best regards,
Steve Jacobson

Subject: Problem with reading MS Word 2007 documents from dropbox
Dear all,
I have problem with window-eyes 9.4 reading any Word documents from my
dropbox folders. Encountering same problem with earlier version of
window-eyes.
The cursor is moving over the text on the documents, but window-eyes
does not speak at all. I do not have this problem with NVDA.
Using windows 8.1, MS Office 2007. Anyone can help. Thanks.
