Hello everybody. most of Microsoft Wordâs functionality is accessible. There
are three functions that are not. I believe that Microsoft may have exposed the
functionality but the screen readers (JAWS, Narrator and NVDA) have not made
these features accessible, probably because they arenât commonly used. How
can I determine, from the FSUIA object whether Microsoft has exposed these
controls. Here are the features and how to get to them.
1. Document Collaboration. To access this functionality, ccreate a
document, share it with another user, ask the user to make some changes and
save the document. Then access the document. It will show which items the other
user changed but you wonât be able to see them. Has Microsoft exposed this
functionality even though the screen Reader venders have not made it
accessible? How can I determine whether the controls have been exposed through
the FSUIA object?
2. When using the Mail Merge facility, you can create a new Recipients
list. You access this interface with the Alt+R N key tip. When you access this
interface, you get an inaccessible table. Did Microsoft expose this interface
even though the Screen Reader venders have not made it accessible? How can I
confirm this FSUIA object?
3. 3. When using the Mail Merge function, you can edit an existing
recipient List. To access this interface, Access the Use Existing List feature
with the Alt+m,R,E key tip. Then browse for your list. Finally, access the Edit
Repient List with the Alt+M,D key tip. Did Microsoft expose the controls of
this interface? How can I confirm this with the FSUIA object?
Finally, How will JAWS know when this interface has focus so that it can react
automatically?
Thanks so much.
Paul
