<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Hello everyone! I'm using a screen reader with Word 2016 (NVDA to be specific) and I am trying to figure out how to activate submenus on the ribbon. For example, the first button off the Home tab is the Paste
button. I have been told, though, that there is an arrow next to it that when clicked will open a menu with related options, such as Paste Special.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">How does one access this menu with the keyboard? I can get to the paste button itself, but pressing enter on it of course executes the paste command. Pressing the applications key or right clicking pulls up
another menu, but not the one I want. I noticed that, with NVDA, routing the cursor to the object, using some object nav magic then left-clicking produces the menu with Paste Special, Text Only, etc but there has to be an easier way...I hope?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Thanks in advance for your wisdom!<o:p></o:p></p>
