[nvda] Re: Problem with help areas in windows

There speaks a bitter man.. I think they would be the very last to admit that their operating system could screw itself up so bad that the only way out is to start again though. Would not look good, would it. To be fair, most problems seem to be fixable if you are careful with what you install etc.

yeah I noticed.
if you are really in the creak then windows help doesn't do much.
ms support is much worse than help.
in short while fixing a problem I wish they just told me to reformat rather then recking a perfectly good system first.

Has anyone ever noticed though, that windows help seems to just state the obvious, and is little help if you are in real trouble? I guess its meant for the uninitiated really.

Use f6 to move from the treeview part of the dialog to the part of the
Window where text is displayed. F6 will move you back to the greeview part of the dialog if you press it again. It's a toggle. I did a presentation for Accessible World on using standard Windows help systems. If you don't 
know how to work well with features such as the index or search parts of
dialogs in a standard windows help system, you may want to listen to the
presentation.  the link to the download page is:

The download link is just about at the bottom of the page.

Hi there

As any one else had problems with help areas in windows?  for example i
go into say notepad then press the F1 key to bring up the help menu  it
lets you tab to where you want on the tree say copy and paste on the
tree but when you go to tab to the area where its says about it there is
nothing at all and son't read it out  but if i move the mouse around to
where the box is where its written its will say it then if i hit the
right spot on the screen.  I have noticed this i a few programmes as
well.  I am useing windows sp sp3 and internet explorer 8 which i think
it may display in.  and the latest snapshot
