Hi all,

I recently got a new computer with windows 7 and NVDA on it, it works well for me for the most part now, but I am still finding it hard to find out if there is a way to create a new page, copy and paste in documents and on the internet and get from the top to the bottom of pages fast and easy, the commands that work with jaws and xp are no longer working, would appreciate some help. Thanks.

If I am understanding Windows works the same no matter what you are using. To copy and such its Control A C or V Sometimes you use the arrow keys, but it is the same. Maybe give a description of what you are trying to do?

Copy, paste, top of page, end page, new page, etc are Windows commands and shouldn't be affected by the screen reader you are using. They are the same in 7 as in XP. So copy = ctrl c, paste = ctrl v, new page or document = ctrl n, top of page = ctrl home and bottom of page = ctrl end.

Yes, something was wrong in the configuration and settings though, someone helped me sort it out. Thanks.
