Hi folks,
I have been using NVDA for about a year and a half now and I have always had trouble reading long documents. If a document is lengthy I experience some delay between pressing Ctrl and down before the next paragraph is read. Same thing for words and characters.
At first this was only in very long pdf's that are over 500 pages, but lately this has started happening in word too.
In the past I just converted the PDF's to word and then read it from there. However, lately word is even worse than Adobe. It is so slow it is impractical to read anything in word. I can't use it to edit documents anymore either.
This might have started when I installed Office 365, I am not sure.
Does anyone know if there is a common cause for this slowdown?
Just in case PC specs might be the issue, I am running an i7 with 8GB DDR3 RAM, definitely enough for a word document to work properly. Also, this issue persists on both my laptop and desktop, so I doubt it has anything to do with my hardware, more likely my NVDA config or Word itself.
It is not the case with all text editors. I don't have the same issue when using Libre Office Writer. The issue is mainly in MS Word.
Any help/advice would be appreciated.
