Re: NVDA erratic behaviour for Track Changes and comments

NVDA + f7 is working correctly in Word with the exception that it all of a sudden stopped giving me the Track Changes. It's just giving me Comments.

If I use NVDA +F7 on a web page, there is no Annotations category in the Elements list. This is the tool to access Comments and Track Changes in Word.

I tried using NVDA + F7 while in browse mode on the same document in OneDrive but get the same results. Because I'm in a browser, not the desktop application, I get browser related element categories listed, not Word based ones. In Word for Web, I can't examine Comments or Track Changes at all.

The issue is that in the span of 2-3 days, NVDA stopped listing Track Changes in the Annotations category of the Elements list in Word for Windows desktop version with all updates to everything installed.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Cheers, Karen
