Help with navigating in Word app

By peter, 13 February, 2017

Forum
iOS and iPadOS

I am trying to create a document in the MS Word app on my iPhone using iOS 10.2.1.

I can use the Option+RightArrow key to move right a word at a time, but I can't seem to move backwards a word at a time by hitting Option+LeftArrow.

Has anyone noticed this? Is this a bug? If so, how can I report it to Microsoft?

If anyone knows of another way to navigate backward a word at a time, please let me know. The Option+Left/Right Arrow keys do seem to work properly using VoiceOver in other apps on the phone.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Try restarting your iPhone

Try restarting your iPhone. Also try closing and reopening the word app. You should save your document before closing word. If none of the steps don't work, send a report to Microsoft accessibility. You can post a bug report on the Microsoft accessibility user voice forum: https://microsoftaccessibility.uservoice.com/forums/307429-microsoft-accessibility-feedback. You can also send a message to Microsoft on twitter if you have a twitter account: @MSFTEnable Hope this helps and good luck!

Thanks for suggestions

Thanks for your suggestions.

Unfortunately restarting my iPHone did not work. I did tweet the bug report as you suggested.

Also, after I posted this I found that if you click the "File" button in an open Word document, one of the options is to give customer feedback. I put the words "accessibility" and "bug report" into my feedback so it can get sorted properly.

We'll see what happens.

Thanks again.
