Word 2010

On opening the bookmarks dialog a message is read by NVDA which seems irrelevant while in the bookmark name edit field. This irrelevant message speaks about the errors in the word file. This message should not be given by NVDA in this dialog in this edit field.
Steps to reproduce:
Open a work file.
Press ALT, N, K to open bookmarks dialog.
The focus is in the bookmarks name edit field.
NVDA reads out a message that talks about the errors in the word file. There are no errors in the word file. This message is irrelevant in this place.

Can we have a sighted person verify that this text is really not showing on the screen? if it is showing then we should speak it. Note that even Narrator reads this text as well. If we can be sure this is incorrect info then we should definitly fix it.

Since no one has been able to have a sighted person verify this, I tried with OCR. OCR certainly can't see this text (though it can see the other labels) and I very much doubt a piece of text like this would be completely ignored.

code review:
The only match you are doing is on that specific string. Then you are removing the string. What about the case where that string may in fact be valid? This really needs to be limited somehow to the bookmarks dialog.

I cant seem to reproduce the error text. Using Microsoft Word 2013 and NVDA master-14289,6c85ce59

Steps I took:

  1. Create a blank word document
  2. Press alt+n, k causing the bookmarks window to open (from the insert panel)
  3. Create several paragraphs
  4. Open bookmarks window again.
  5. Added a bookmark (by typing in the edit field, then pressing alt+a)
  6. Open bookmarks window again.

NVDA did not report any errors with the word document.

I performed the steps provided by @feerrenrut in #3058 (comment) in Word 2016 with no error text reported.
When taking a look at the patch provided, it appears the error is:
"Errors were detected in this file, but Word was able to open the file by making the repairs listed below. Save the file to make the repairs permanent."
Doing a quick Google search, it appears that this error appears in heavily formatted files that have overlapping images in a Word document. I am closing as worksforme, but if someone else is able to reproduce in Word 2010 or can provide a working example, we can reopen this.
