Hello,

Thank you for your feedback. We will pass this on to the Office product team.

For a workaround, you can refer to the following article to create a rule in Outlook which would perform the same option.

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.

To add a digital signature line in Word 2016:
Go to the insert tab by Pressing Alt and then N. Press G for signature line and then press enter on "Microsoft Office Signature Line".

Narrator will read the lines for you to type the information needed such as "signer's name" and "signer's title". When you have finished filling out the items, press enter.

The signature line will now be present in Word. Move the focus to the right of the image and then press Shift + left arrow to select the image. Once the image is selected, press shift + F10 to open the context menu. Arrow down to Sign and press Enter. You will then be able to enter in a digital signature as you would if you right clicked the signature line. Press enter when you are finished.

The request for "Microsoft Office Signature Line" to be read as "Unsigned Microsoft Office Signature Line" will be forwarded on to the product team.

Sincerely,

The Microsoft Disability Answer Desk team.

Hello,

To add alternative text to a picture with a screen reader, you can do the following:

Insert the picture using the insert tab as you have described. Once you have selected the picture and it is in the document, move your focus to the right of the image. Press Shift + left arrow to select the picture. Next, press shift + F10 to bring up the context menu. Up arrow once to get to the format picture option. Then press shift + tab to get to the layout and properties tab. Within this tab is the alt text field where you can add a title and description. You can tab down to these areas.

If you are still having issues with this, please contact the Microsoft Disability Answer Desk at 1 (800) 936-5900.

Sincerely,

The Microsoft Disability Answer Desk team.

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.

Please reach out to the manufacturer, YouTube, regarding the clash in colors when high contrast is used. They may have an option where you can use YouTube prior to how it was before the update or they may have a fix for this issue.

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.

To navigate within the settings field using Narrator, Scan Mode will enable you to navigate and hear information that you would not hear otherwise.

With JAWS, you might find that the virtual cursor is useful for navigating these same areas.

Below you will find the user guide for narrator as well as documentation on the virtual cursor in JAWS.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/22798/windows-10-narrator-get-started
https://www.freedomscientific.com/Content/Documents/Other/ScriptManual/06-3_JAWSCursor.htm

For additional assistance, please contact the Microsoft Disability Answer Desk at
1 (800) 936-5900. Available Monday through Friday from 6am to 10pm (PST) and Saturday to Sunday from 7am to 6pm (PST).

Bonjour,

Merci pour votre avis.

Vous pouvez changer la souris pour la rendre plus grande et inversée dans Windows. Pour effectuer ces modifications: Accédez aux paramètres, à la facilité d'accès, puis à la souris. Les options que vous recherchez sont sous la couleur du pointeur et la taille du pointeur.

Cordialement,

L'équipe Microsoft Disability Answer Desk.
