They come with some programs, I think they are some type of HTML document.
Anyway, you get a list of tabs and they can be selected.
You select one but I can not skip over to the relevant text.
I literally need to read what I just selected.

If I remember correctly, you press f6 to jump to the text.

I'm gone for real :)

that did not work, could it be control f6

2020-07-10 01:41:18

nope, try f5 or f7,.


If you tell me what the program is, perhaps I can take a look?

If they're .hlp files, they always had that bug and I never found a workaroud.  If it's .chm then f6 is what you want and if it's not working you've done something unfathomably weird somehow.

@camlorn, Yes. TinySpell uses .hlp for help I believe, and I need to use object nav just to find the ttext.

If you for whatever reason wish to contact me, the best way to do so is through Discord (Minionslayer#2980). You'll get the quickest response times, and by extension, a higher priority. I also sometimes post my thoughts (for the better or worse) over on Twitter at @Minionslayer2.

@6
Back when .hlp actually mattered and wasn't so deprecated that you can't even read it on modern versions of Windows, we didn't have NVDA, let alone object nav.  Copying the text to notepad and dealing with another entire set of Jaws bugs that we don't have anymore with notepad that would sometimes also make you select the text there to read it makes me feel very old.  But I learned Libertybasic that way, as well as several other things, once upon a time.

I've tried all I can and can't access the help text.


I'd recommend jarte for spelling, it's a word processer but it's accessible and free.

@camlorn, Haha, now I just appreciate how easy it is now, even though it's far from ideal.

wow, thank you for all the help it is wel appreciated.
So perhaps I should just ask my TinySpell question here.
How do I get it to insert the word, It just copies the word to the clipboard.
Thank you all again.

@Diegogaribay, I posted on the appropriate topic earlier, have you checked that one?
