<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Hello, I'm on NVDA 2017.4 as well. When I press alt, the ribbon activates and I am placed on the Home tab. However, if I press enter on Home it just throws me back into the document; I have to tab from the
ribbon strip in order to see the options. This has always been the case in Word as far back as I can remember; although, in other ribbons throughout Windows and Office, it is indeed necessary to hit enter on the tab first. This is another reason I've always
been frustrated with these ribbons, because the ways of interacting with them have not been consistent. I have since accepted that the ribbons are here to stay, but it doesn't mean I have to like them. Haha.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">In either case, I do have JAWS installed on here so I'll give that a try and see what my results are. What version of Office are you using, because that could also make a difference. I'm on 2016.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;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="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;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>
