Morning Lynne!
Thankfully, the NVDA user's guide is well organized, so it should
hopefully be easy to find the information you're looking for. Most of
the links, except external references, are linked to using internal
referencing.
I've found some issues where, if clicking with NVDA in settings, it
actually clicks Ok instead. But I figured out that even when I use the
mouse to do this, it still occurs, so I'm not sure if the demo just
prevents me from setting certain preferences for some reason. At any
rate, you should be able to navigate it with no real issues.
It's actually interesting, because the wizard that runs after the
installation is perfectly accessible, so I'm not sure why they didn't
just implement regular menu items for the interface.
This looks like an interesting tool though, so I might end up buying it.
Regards,
Nicolai

Hello Nic
Thanks for a well written response. We do try to read up when we have the
opportunity. However, with running these groups, working for a living and other
life-impacting issues, we don't have the time to sit on our asses reading
computer software manuals. :)
Gordon is trying to get up to speed with NVDA because it's crucial that he does
so. Provisionally, he starts work as a Brailleist, Braille transcriber/tutor,
I.T. tutor and general I.T. adviser on 22 April at an academy of excellence not
far from us. We're just awaiting the formalities, the CRB checks to come
through and then it' all systems go. But I am rambling and way off topic.
Gordon is trying to become the NVDA expert which you appear to be. And, whilst
I am on, I thank you for your patient explanation Nic.

I assume you mean the options like home, instant recovery, settings, snapshots,

If you look in the user's guide, you'll see the tables containing all the
navigation commands for the new layout if using the NVDA 2013.1 beta, or the
NVDA snapshots. This is in section 5.4, Object Navigation.
I use the desktop keys which seem to work while using the laptop layout also,
but I've tried with the assigned object navigation keys for the desktop as well
with either layout. You need to hold down the NVDA key, then use numpad 4 and 6
to move between objects, NVDA-numpad 8 to move to objects containing current
navigator object, and NVDA-2 to move to first contained object. Using the
numpad keys, I find it makes more sense and is easier to figure out, but this
seems to work whether or not you're using the laptop or desktop layout, so it
really doesn't seem to matter much. If you prefer, you can switch between the
two key command sets on the fly without even switching layout, apparently.
When you move the review cursor, you can press NVDA+numpad enter to activate an
object, but you may need to use numpad 4 and 6 without the NVDA modifier to
move to the part of the menu item you want to click.
I hope that made sense!
