    Use Cortana in text fields?


    Hello to the group, I am used to speak text into input fields on my iPad and Android phone, e.g. on WhatsApp. This works very well by now ;-). In Word 365 on Windows 10, speech recognition is now also available. Question: How can I activate speech recognition (microphone icon) in input fields system-wide on Windows 10? Plugin for any browser would also be nice. Many thanks in advance, Armin

    :)

    Using the tab key to hop between text fields highlights all buttons

    Hello,
    Whenever a dialog box pops up in Windows 10, if it contains text input fields and clickable buttons/radio buttons/checkboxes, pressing the tab key steps through every single item in the dialog box, which is very annoying and, to me, pointless. Do I recall that there might be a way to limit this behaviour so the tab key only highlights text input boxes, and not every single element? I can't find anything useful in Windows 10's Settings/Control Panel - am I missing something or is this not possible?

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

    E63 Text Messaging HowTo - move cursor to text entry field

    I do not know how to "immediately" switch between the recipient field and the text field, especially when the pointer is in the middle of long list of recipients or long text field. However, when there are many recipients and the pointer is not at the
    top or end, I use Ctrl-a to select them, then use DownNaviButton to move it to the end of recipient field, then DownNaviButton again to move to text field. When the pointer is somewhere in long text field, I use Ctrl-UpNaviButton to move pointer to the beginning
    of text field, then UpNaviButton again to move to recipient field.

    Use Cortana in text fields?

    Disappearing Cortana

    I had Cortana and loved her, but she then disappeared and even after reinstalling the Windows Pro 10 preview she has not reappeared. I know that she was not originally in the UK, but I am now on build 9926 and was advised that Cortana was now available, but she has mysteriously vanished, and I cannot even enter text into the search field.
    Any suggestions?
